There is a whisper
A quiet invitation
Beckoning me to come
A hand of kindness
A good and trusting one
A hand that will never fail
My bags are packed but I'm glued to the phone
Cause I've got nowhere else to go
So I stay
I have a mind that will wait for war to take it's toll
Before it will still itself
But I've seen the face of love
A chest that warms and welcomes
A table that never fails
Oh, I've been running' I've been fading to grey
But I hear you calling my name
Your voice is singing out like fire in the rain
So I stay
Oh, you're not finished yet
This can't be where it ends
Come kick this barrenness out into the grave
You promised better yet
So I'm lookin' at you my friend and I stay
