Story Behind the Song
This song was inspired by the events of 9/11. I needed to find a way to express my fear and my wish to get away from the horror of it all. I wanted to find a place where we can forget our worries and fears and just dance!

VOICES

Voices, I hear voices, everywhere I go,
But I don’t really hear what they say
Faces, I see faces, everywhere I look,
But I don’t really know what they see,
People, people, going places, going by so fast,
That they don’t even know I’m here…
All I know is that I live, in a place that’s so cold
And I don’t really wanna be here
I don’t feel that I belong, been waiting for so long
I feel that’s something’s missing…
(instrumental bridge)
Spoken softly…
I don’t wanna cry, I don’t wanna fear
I just wanna dance
So come on – take my hand
Dance with me…
Chorus 1
Voices, voices I hear voices,
Faces, faces I see faces
People, people going places
I think, I think I’m going crazy…
Verse 1
I don’t know what’s going on,
But every time I close my eyes,
I see the people rushing by,
and see the fear that’s in their eyes,
Something, out there has scared me,
Voices, from everywhere
Screaming, and acting crazy
What’s going on out there…
Chorus…..
Verse 2
I don’t know what’s going on out there
But I know that I don’t wanna cry anymore
And I don’t want sadness anymore
I just wanna dance with you…
Something terrible’s happened
My world’s been torn apart
Why should I live in sadness
Tell me, just tell me why…
All I wanna do is live my life the way I want to (oh yeah)
I just wanna dance and have some fun and do the mambo (carambo)
Voices….
All I wanna do (is have some fun)
I don’t wanna live (in fear no more)
All I wanna do (is live my life)
I don’t wanna have to (cry no more)
Voices…
(Ad lib session and guitar jam session)
Fade….
