Drown Lyrics
Drown tonight All this noise inside Holy Spirit won't you speak I will be silent I will be
I've been wrong before By giving you the run around And I can't stand the thought Of letting go the upper hand I'm feeling crowded Don't want to be in this place It's getting way too loud in here
Drown tonight All this noise inside Holy Spirit won't you speak I will be silent
Take this heart of mine Turn it to the divine Break distractions I will learn the sound of silence
So much static In the rumors of a world of compromise Always a little bit of truth Disguising every good lie Those poison lullabies So out of tune Yet they sound so right? No, no!
Drown tonight All this noise inside Holy Spirit won't you speak I will be silent
Take this heart of mine Turn it to the divine Break distractions I will learn the sound of silence
Tonight I will be still And know You're God I will be still and know You I will be still and know You're God Push this white noise down I will be silent
Drown my worldly distractions And the calls to comfort and self satisfaction When the world threatens the peace That surpasses all understanding now I will be still and know You are God
Music and lyrics by Phil Joel, Phillip LaRue
Song Description: "A few years back, I had my hearing tested. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that after many years of loud stages and amplifiers my hearing was still 100%. As a parting gift, and maybe a sly precautionary gesture, the doctor gave me some earplugs. I started to use them at different times throughout the day. It wasn't until I began to seek out stillness and quiet that I realized how noisy and full of distractions my life had become. Listening (to the Lord) is a whole lot easier when the noise is drowned." - Phil Joel
