Lyrics

Whispers in the NIght

©️2025 Words and Music by Sharon Stepler

I’m not broken
I’m not fragile
I walked through fire and darkness and survived
I am alive

I know the truth now
That’s all I needed
I’m not sure why I’m carrying these stones
And brittle bones

The morning sun is warm upon my face
I’m telling you
Everything’s all right
Don’t ask about the whispers in the night

I am safe now
It doesn’t matter
I don’t need to talk about it all
I didn’t fall

I have scars now
I don’t know why
How they came to mark me I can’t say
I’ll never say

The morning sun is warm upon my face
I’m telling you
Everything’s all right
Don’t ask about the whispers in the night

I’m not broken
I’m not fragile
I walked through fire and darkness and survived

I found you through the alt country forum! Those vocal lines at the end of the verses are haunting and super beautiful. This song has weight behind it. Like a life well lived.

This is really haunting. It's like looking at a Van Gogh self portrait. You're burdened with scars, you're carrying stones, and you don't know why. Ahh! It's a scream from deep in the inner darkness that never reaches the surface.

Interesting tuning. Adds some subtle melancholy I didn't expect from a uke. The lyrics are very strong

What a powerful write. The narrator has been through *stuff* but bravely continues.
