So this was never how she planned her life to be To find she'll be a mother at the age of seventeen And in a wave of fear and a flood of tears Her hopes and dreams all slip away Sitting on a park bench the tears roll down her face Crushed beneath the weight of the choice she has to make When she hears a voice break through the noise Speak the words she longs to hear When love whispers your name In spite of your choices and all your mistakes It'll reach into the darkness, it'll shout right where you are When love whispers your name Another girl, another town and yet so much the same She races up the stairs, slams the door to block the pain But she can't escape or runaway She's a broken beauty on the floor And on her arms she bears the scars of her attempts for peace Every tragic moment is another day she bleeds But today she finds some peace of mind And her heart will know she's not alone When love whispers your name In spite of your choices and all your mistakes It'll reach into the darkness, it'll shout right where you are When love whispers your name Love is reaching, love can see Love will rescue those in need, those broken and in need When love whispers your name In spite of your choices and all your mistakes It'll reach into the darkness, it'll shout right where you are When love whispers your name Love is reaching, it whispers your name
