[Intro] [slow blues guitar, single note bends] [Verse 1] You taught me how to breathe when I was drowning in the dark Put the words inside my mouth and gave me back my heart Now I'm standing where you stood before the light went out And every time I open mine, your voice is what comes out [Pre-Chorus] The weight don't feel like burden anymore It's the fire that you left me And I'll carry it [Chorus] I'm still your voice When they hear me sing, they hear you too Still your voice Every note I hit is coming through And when I raise my hands up to the sky You're the reason why I'm still your voice [Verse 2] They put a crown upon my head but it was always yours Standing in the light you made when you kicked down the doors Some say I'm the one they see, but brother, don't you know You're the hand that guides my steps wherever I go [Pre-Chorus] This ain't my victory alone It's the echo of a song You had to start [Chorus] I'm still your voice When they hear me sing, they hear you too Still your voice Every note I hit is coming through And when I raise my hands up to the sky You're the reason why I'm still your voice [Bridge] [sparse, vulnerable delivery] Some nights I forget you're gone Then I feel you like a second heartbeat Two souls sharing one chest You breathe when I breathe [building] And I swore I would keep your music breathing [Final Chorus] [stacked harmonies, gospel swell] I'm still your voice When they hear me sing, they hear you too [call and response] Still your voice [still your voice] Every word I speak is coming through And when I stand before them, hands held high You never really died I'm still your voice [slow, resolving] Forever your voice [Outro] [fading, sparse] Still carrying the fire... Your voice in mine...
