She listens to the voice of reason
And Sister Wisdom calls to her
How many are the things unneeded
Love unrequited
All for loss
She tries to see it blindly in the dead of night
And now she wonders why she falls
Hear me, child
These days are meant for better
Seek, ask and you'll find
The things your heart are after
She asks but they reply in silence
The answer's been there all along
A few are those who learn forgiveness
And let healing start to form
She sees it clearly now like crystal in the light
She stands proudly strong and tall
Hear me, child
These days are meant for better
Seek, ask and you'll find
The things your heart are after
When you only know the pray'r you have
Is your only hope so look ahead
There's a better day the cloud will fade
The sun will shine it's sure to be
If you only think beyond the circumstance
And the human woe
Your only foe is long defeated
Strong and sure that's what in store
She sees it clearly now like crystal in the light
She stands proudly strong and tall
Hear me, child
These days are meant for better
Seek, ask and you'll find
The things your heart are after
Hear me, child
These days are meant for better
Seek, ask and you'll find
The things your heart are after
Listen to the voice of reason
The answer's been there all along
