Hear The Silence Lyrics

Hear The Silence

Oh, hear the silence just between

My lips and coming words

Cause my opinion often needs

A second thought or third

Clear the silence in between

The drop and certain rain

Between the shiver and the shock

The first attempt, the final crash

In between lightning and pain

Enlarge the silence in between

Idea and final form

Cause in fertile silences

Some better ideas are born

Moments of stillness in life and work

To cherish every day

Call it inspiration

Call it breath or love from above

Don't let it slip away

Notice silence in the war

When fighting is stuck in the mud

Winter's silences prevail

When thoughts will beat the blood

If the moments in between

Will help to spread relief

The brave shall gain their freedom

Stones to build, songs to sing

All between hope and grief

Hear the silence just between

The beating of the heart

As if nature loads a pulse

For another start

Our history of explorers

Giving every breath

Or were we just intruders

Who spoiled the soil

Grazed the earth

Spreading certain death

I've heard them say, my fellowmen

We committed crime

And in the deafening silence

The next pulse comes in time

Between the take off and the blast

There is lots of noise to hear

But between the echoes

Just between the echoes

We could disappear

Oh, let there be some silence

For grace or for mourn

And hope that tides are turning

And the act to change is born

Between the impulse of beginning

And the ending of this song

I know that I'm just failing

Failing to keep the silence

Failing to hold the silence

The silence where I belong
