Jonah Lyrics

Francis Dunnery Jonah

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
