Silence was around me as I walked along my mind was so troubled I felt so alone
|
I had no desire to live I had not a will to go home
|
Then out of the silence came a song
|
The words were sharp and they cut deep into my troubled mind
|
The melody was pursy as it tore into this heart of mine
|
You have the legs to walk along while others are all lamed
|
You have a mind to think with while others are insane
|
You live while others dying and yet no thanks're shown
|
Out of the silence came this song
|
Then I saw a vision of myself my legs were bent and lame
|
Not only was I crippled but I couldn't speak my name
|
And then I saw a graveyard with my own funeral going on
|
Then out of the silence came a song
|
You have the legs to walk along while others are all lamed
|
You have a mind to think with so why should you complain
|
You live while others die and yet no thanks're shown out of the silence came this song
|
Out of the silence came a song
|
