Odimnobi

I found a sound inside the quiet,

A frequency I can't explain.

It isn't rhythm, isn't riot,

It's just the humming of your name.

I gathered every wooden timber,

And every silver, ringing wire,

To build a song that's small and limber,

To light a slow and steady fire.

And this is the song only for you,

A unique note in a sea of blue.

It's the breath that the world never gets to hear,

Whispered only when you're standing near.

(Whispered only when you're standing near.)

It's not the songs they play on speakers,

It's not the poetry in books.

It's in the way my spirit flickers,

To match the rhythm of your looks.

I practiced this in total silence,

To keep the secret safe and sound.

A velvet peace, a quiet defiance,

In every chord that I have found.

And this is the song only for you,

A unique note in a sea of blue.

It's the breath that the world never gets to hear,

Whispered only when you're standing near.

(Whispered only when you're standing near.)

If the world goes quiet,

(If the world goes quiet)

If the lights grow dim,

(If the lights grow dim)

This unique sound,

(This unique sound)

Is where I begin.

And this is the song only for you!

A unique note in a sea of blue!

It's the breath that the world never gets to hear!

Whispered only when you're standing near!

(Whispered only when you're standing near!)

Just for you.

(Mm-mm).

(Soft humming)
