Like a tiny little bubble of air rises
From the bottom of the sea
Slips the sapphire silence
Up to the surface where it longs to be
Up to the light of love
To where the air of hope is sweet
I'm delirious and I'm delighted
And when I finally reach the spot complete

With the close of my eyes
From the hole in my heart comes
A whisper heard
Around the world
With the close of my eyes
From the hole in my heart comes
A whisper heard
Around the world

Whoa! Oh!

Let me go of every longing
Lord, I know You hear when I pray
Everything I couldn't put into words
And when no one hears a word I say
And when I'm faint of heart, mm
Or when there's nothin' I can do
But let You know about the flood in my soul
I can barely give it up to You

With the close of my eyes
From the hole in my heart comes
A whisper heard
Around the world
With the close of my eyes
From the hole in my heart
Comes a whisper heard
Around the world

Around the world!

Oh and when I'm faint of heart
When there's nothin' I can do
But let You know about the flood in my soul
To give it up to You

With the close of my eyes
From the hole in my heart comes
A whisper heard
Around the world
Whoo!
With the close of my eyes
From the hole in my heart comes
A whisper heard
Around the world
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
With the close of my eyes
From the hole in my heart comes
A whisper heard
Around the world, yeah
With the close of my eyes
From the hole in my heart comes
A whisper heard
Around the world

Around the world!
Na, na, na, na!
[scat singing]
Slips the sapphire silence
Whoo hoo!
Like a tiny bubble of air
Rises from the bottom of the sea
