Can't find the words

Odete Oliveira 1977 (USA)

I hope you understand even though I can't find the words to say
When I'm lonely,hurting,or when I'm away
A warm blanket on a cold night
The simplest that you didn't have to fight
To see,to hear what's around
To be present,to invite,to be found
Use your talent that you possess
Sing there because you sang the best
Grace and gratitude belong together
Peace and silence fall like a feather
