Song For Silence Lyrics - Qanda

There was thunder in the sky that night 

Rattling the windows of the nursery 

Dragon shadows diving down the wall 

So real I couldn't help but scream 

Then my mother walked into the room 

She came to set me free and scare the monsters all away 

She pressed a finger to her lips and gently said to me...she said 

"I wish you had, I wish you'd be a sign for silence 

Listen to the voice that speaks 

A sign for silence" 

Calling people everywhere 

A sign for silence...Home 

Out with the "fellas" as a younger man 

Changing who I was to be a friend 

Taking chances on the late night streets 

Burning the candle from the other end 

So I asked the mirror on the wall 

"Is this person that I want to be or do I want to be at all?" 

I closed my eyes to fall asleep, and these words came to me 

"I wish you had, I wish you'd be a sign for silence 

Listen to the voice that speaks 

A sign for silence" 

Calling people everywhere 

A sign for silence...Home 

This world is full of noise and violence 

We all could use a little silence 

Sitting with my daughter in a quiet cafe 

The day was coming when she went away 

I had to tell her she would be ok 

But struggled for the words to say 

I tried to tell her that one thing is true 

There was one thing that she had to do 

I said, "to find the truth you have to take a look inside of you." 

I will shed a tear and wave goodbye 

Watching you take off and fly 

Towards a distant star that shines beyond this sky 

"I wish you had, I wish you'd be a sign for silence 

Listen to the voice that speaks 

A sign for silence" 

Calling people everywhere 

A sign for silence...Home
