Mary Mary's 'The Sound' is an energetic gospel anthem about expressing faith through shouts and groans when words fail. The song conveys that God hears the heart's cries even without spoken prayers, and it celebrates victory, perseverance, and strength in the midst of many problems. The repeated refrains emphasize holding on and staying strong, while the outro reflects on being saved and loving the Lord for hearing and pitying every groan. It's a joyful declaration of trust in God's attentive care and a call to vocalize praise and emotion.

[Verse:]
I never said a word
But I know my Father heard me
I stopped talking about it
Cause now it's time to shout it
Fifty thousand problems
Wnd words couldn't solve them
[Chorus:]
That's the sound of victory and
That's the sound of no defeat and
That's the sound of holding on and
That's the sound of staying strong, oh
I can't do nothing but scream what I'm feeling
God knows my heart and I know that He hears it
Yeah

That's the sound of holding on and

[Outro:]
I think I wanna holla
Is it alright if I holla?
Sometimes I need to holla
Hey, holla
Now can you hear me if I moan
Is it alright if I moan?
Mmm, moan
Mmm, moan
Somebody saved? [4x]
I love the Lord
He heard my cry
And pitied every
Every groan
Every groan 8x
Yeah!
