[Verse 1]
She's been asleep for some time now
In a world of glass and paper doubt
The doc explains in the best way he knows how
That the cancer found its way in through our mouths

[Pre-Chorus]
Wake from your sleep
Precious one
Wake up now

[Chorus]
I can hear her breathe
She's coming back to me
And when she speaks
Can we live with what we've done?
Oh, she's moving and I am terrified
That we can't hear the whisper

[Verse 2]
If I make it to morning and somehow
Believe it was fear that turned my dreams to doubt
Her cancer I ate for my father who waits
'Cause she wants to sing again

[Pre-Chorus]
Wake from your sleep
Precious one
Wake up now

[Chorus]
I can hear her breathe
She's coming back to me
And when she speaks
Can we live with what we've done?
Oh, she's moving and I am terrified
That we can't hear the whisper

[Bridge]
What kind of son would I be if I let her sleep?
What kind of brother would I be if I let her sleep?
Well, she's gonna speak

[Chorus]
I can hear her breathe
She's coming back to me
And when she speaks
Can we live with what we've done?
Oh, she's moving and I am terrified
That we can't hear the whisper
