Follow the Sound of My Voice

[Intro] Follow the sound of my voice I'm right here, I'm right here Follow the sound of my voice Dry your tears, I'm right here Right here [Verse 1] There's a red kite in a dead tree in the park Something straight out a French new-wave movie There's a mother with a toddler in her arms Wondering how she's gonna raise her baby The doctor spilled out all the medical jargon Aggressive retinal degeneration She stares at that kite while the words ring in her head "Sorry ma'am, your son will never see again" [Pre-Chorus] She points her finger at that kite stuck in that tree She says, "Baby, c'mon, baby, can't you see? See how high it is, how bright it is, how it shines against the sky Can you see it if you try?" But he says, "I can't see it" "Darlin'," she says [Chorus] Follow the sound of my voice I'm right here, I'm right here Follow the sound of my voice Dry your tears, I'm right here I'm right here [Verse 2] There's an acne-covered teenaged terror Upstate New York's blind piano prodigy All the kids call him the next Ray Charles He plays in a band with his little brother [Pre-Chorus] His brother guides him by the shoulder through these Loud and crowded venues tryna Steer that drunken ship through the night And it hurts a little more each time he watches his big brother Try to find his own way, up on a stage He says, "I can't help you, let me help you" [Chorus] Follow the sound of my voice I'm right here, I'm right here Follow the sound of my voice Dry your tears, I'm right here Right here [Post-Chorus] Hmm, mm-mm (Oh) [Bridge] When I feel like I am stumbling in the dark And I get lost inside this great big world When I feel like I'm invisible, like nobody cares You're always there Saying, "I can see you, I can see you" [Chorus] Follow the sound of my voice I'm right here, I'm right here Follow the sound of my voice Dry your tears, I'm right here I'm right here [Outro] Right here
