Like a tiny little bubble of air rises
 
 From the bottom of the sea
 
 Slips the sapphire silence
 
 Up to the surface where it longs to be
 
 Up to the light of love
 
 To where the air of hope is sweet
 
 I'm delirious and I'm delighted
 
 And when I finally reach the spot complete
 
  
  With the close of my eyes
 
 From the hole in my heart comes
 
 A whisper heard
 
 Around the world
 
 With the close of my eyes
 
 From the hole in my heart comes
 
 A whisper heard
 
 Around the world
  
 
 Whoa! Oh!
  
 
 Let me go of every longing
 
 Lord, I know You hear when I pray
 
 Everything I couldn't put into words
 
 And when no one hears a word I say
 
 And when I'm faint of heart, mm
 
 Or when there's nothin' I can do
 
 But let You know about the flood in my soul
 
 I can barely give it up to You
  
 
 With the close of my eyes
 
 From the hole in my heart comes
 
 A whisper heard
 
 Around the world
 
 With the close of my eyes
 
 From the hole in my heart
 
 Comes a whisper heard
 
 Around the world
  
 
 Around the world!
  
 
 Oh and when I'm faint of heart
 
 When there's nothin' I can do
 
 But let You know about the flood in my soul
 
 To give it up to You
  
 
 With the close of my eyes
 
 From the hole in my heart comes
 
 A whisper heard
 
 Around the world
 
 Whoo!
 
 With the close of my eyes
 
 From the hole in my heart comes
 
 A whisper heard
 
 Around the world
 
 Ah, ah, ah, ah!
 
 With the close of my eyes
 
 From the hole in my heart comes
 
 A whisper heard
 
 Around the world, yeah
 
 With the close of my eyes
 
 From the hole in my heart comes
 
 A whisper heard
 
 Around the world
  
 
 Around the world!
 
 Na, na, na, na!
 
 [scat singing]
 
 Slips the sapphire silence
 
 Whoo hoo!
 
 Like a tiny bubble of air
 
 Rises from the bottom of the sea
