[Intro: signature Holler motif] [Verse 1: Darlene FEMALE lead verse one] They told me trust the voice inside As though that voice was always wise But some old lessons I inherited Were only fear dressed in disguise [Chorus: warm Bubba male and Darlene female duet] Empty enough to be filled Quiet enough to be still I can leave the window open Let a little morning in Don't let pride crowd out the truth Make some breathing room within [Verse 2: Bubba MALE verse two] I can use the judgment I've been given But not worship every thought There's a difference between wisdom And the fear somebody taught [Bridge: alternating voices] Let my heart be ready to learn Let my hands be ready to serve Let the kindness find its way [Final Chorus: full Holler Shakers] Empty enough to be filled Quiet enough to be still I can leave the window open Let a little morning in Don't let pride crowd out the truth Make some breathing room within [Outro: resolved instrumental ending]
