The Voice Inside

Can't you hear that voice, inside you
Mister, won't you listen
Can't you hear that voice, inside you
Sister, won't you listen
When the devil says, "Let me be your guide"
And you wanna turn the tide
Listen, listen, to the voice inside

When the money, in my pocket
Only burns, a great big hole
And I'm walkin', on a treadmill
'Stead of reachin', for my goal
Somethin' always seems to happen
Just when things are at their worst
And the gold o' the sun, falls down on me
And the dark clouds, are dispersed

Can't you hear that voice, inside you
Mister, won't you listen
Can't you hear that voice, inside you
Sister, won't you listen
When the devil says, "Let me be your guide"
And you wanna turn the tide
Listen, listen, to the voice inside

When I run across temptation
And I can't resist its call
When it smiles at me, so pretty
That I'm sure to trip and fall
Then I hear the voice, inside me
That keeps sayin', "Pass it by"
I get hold of' myself, control myself
Well, at least, I know I try

Can't you hear that voice, inside you
Mister, won't you listen
Can't you hear that voice, inside you
Sister, won't you listen
When the devil says, "Let me be your guide"
And you wanna turn the tide
Listen, listen, to the voice inside
