Song Description

CS Lewis said that Pain is God's megaphone to rouse a deaf and dying world. Basically it's what uses when He really needs to get our attention.

Lyrics

Doctor said there's nothing wrong with my head
At least as far as he can tell
But late at night when I'm lying in my bed
Sometimes I don't hear so well.

Now certain circumstances tend to bring
Clarity like a lighting rod
And I admit that it's a spiritual thing
Talking 'bout the voice of God

But the only time it's loud and clear
Is when my eyes are filled with tears

Cause Pain is a megaphone

The summer always seems so surreal
The memories cut like a knife
When I was caught asleep at the wheel
On the shoulder of my life

Cause we drift to sleep when things get dull
And then we need a wake up call.

And pain is a megaphone
Pain is a megaphone

Life can be a heavy load
That we carry down this winding road
But there's one thing that I've figured out
Sometimes God whispers and sometimes He shouts

And pain is His megaphone
Pain is a megaphone

Now I'm not saying that there's always something there
I don't claim to know his plans
So when the fiery trials singe your hair
You don't need to understand

But if you're ever slow to hear
You may want to plug your ears

Cause pain is a megaphone
Pain is a megaphone
