I’m in a fix
Need something quick
My mind is numb
My stomach sick
Broken hearts
Hopeless things
I’ve seen what defiance brings
Cause the light of day
I’ve always known
Is in my heart
I’m not alone
CHORUS
Speak to me
And tell me all the things I need to know
I want to hear You now
Can You speak to me
I’ve opened up Your Word to free me
I want to hear You now
It’s amazing
How I forget
Can’t live my life for
Lack of it
But the light of day
I’ve always known
Is in my heart
I’m not alone
CHORUS
And make Your wisdom clear
The words I hold so dear
Bring light into my dark
I hide them inside my heart
I hide them inside my heart
Speak to me
And tell me all the things I need to know
I want to hear You now
Can You
CHORUS

Behind the Song:'This is about wanting to hear from God in a real way – in your darkest times and even in the times when you’re doing okay. It’s a great message to young people and old people alike, to really take time to hear God speak. Musically, this song completely changed from the demo we’d originally recorded. We added strings and horns, and it’s really one of the musical high points of the album.' - Mark Stuart (
