One Clear Voice

I do not consider myself a fan of Christian rock or Mormon pop music either, except for a few exceptions. I do however love when I hear a musician who usually sings regular pop, alternative or country, singing songs with meaningful lyrics. For example, Switchfoot is one of my favorite groups. All of their songs are thoughtful and have great messages, without being "Christian".

I was a huge Peter Cetera fan in the 80's, back when I loved cheesy romantic pop music, when he sang for Chicago and in his solo career. This is my favorite song by him now that I am older however. It sounds just like all the love songs he used to sing but isn't about cheesy stuff. This is probably considered Christian (worship.net in the address is a big hint I imagine) but it isn't preachy. They play it on regular music mix channels all the time. If they didn't, I would have never heard it because I don't listen to Christian music radio stations. Anyway, I just wanted to share it with you. It is nice to hear a song about something so special to me on the radio amidst all the other stuff.

One Clear Voice
Sung by Peter Cetera

Whole world is talking
Drowning out my voice
How can I hear myself
With all this noise
But all this confusion
Just disappears
When I find a quiet place
Where I can hear

(chorus)
One clear voice
Calling out for me to listen
One clear voice
Whispers words of wisdom
I close my eyes
'Till I find what I've been missing
If I'm very still, I will hear
One clear voice

I'm always searching
For which path to take
Sometimes I'm so afraid
To make mistakes
Somewhere inside me
Stronger than my fears
Just like the sound of music
To my ears, I hear

chorus
