Silence (Is A Word)

There was an old man on the street today
a thousand stories in his eyes
begging people for some sympathy
and a dollar for his pride
to himself he'd tell his stories one by one
of when he still had a home (now he's all alone)
I remember someone telling me
of a woman that they knew
and the father when she was a child
was a man that beat her black and blue
to herself she'd tell her stories one by one
of the love she's never known
Silence is a Word
and it speaks to me this way
Silence is a Word
crying out but never heard
Now there's no such thing as life without sacrifice
to relieve the pain
all you got to do is listen to what's inside
I once had love but it flew away
left me here without a heart
I realize it's more than some out there
but that don't help me through the pain
so when I hear a whisper in my ear
then I know I'm not alone
(chorus)
telling me things that I've never heard
