Francis Dunnery - Jonah lyrics

rate me

You can hear me call your name

but I haven't said a single word tonight

Like a bird that sails a thermal sky

trusting the invisible

How can I fall?

How can I fail?

When I'm Jonah inside the whale.

So I cry out like a baby

because I know you'll hear my words

And I can get tomorrow

if you hold on to this heart of mine

You can hear my cry for freedom

as I learn to trust the living that's inside

In a world that sells a pack of lies

and draws me to my ego

How can I fall

How can I fail

When I'm Jonah inside the whale

And I know you're always with me

even though you can't be heard

A perfect understanding

as you breathe into this heart of mine

So the fox is in the hole again

The hounds are at the door

News paper stories

lying more and more

There's a little girl starting school today

to learn the whole thing over

But how can she fall

How can she fail

When she's Jonah inside the whale
