the sound of silence draws me near
as if there's something we all don't hear
but if we pause and lend an ear
it may just ring out
crystal clear

reverberate the noiseless thing
don't speak
nor shout
nor sing
just listen
listen to nothing
for here you'll find peace in feeling

close your eyes and still your mind
there is something
that you must find
beyond the music
between the rhymes
in the center of your being
thru space and time

in the very essence of your core
the beating of your heart
longs for more
look inside you to be sure
and hold onto it
forevermore

your tender soul begins to shake
in your body
you feel a quake
the energy of true love's wake
fills you
til you just might break

embrace the tremble of this flight
soar high
toward this sight
you'll never fear another plight
if you always
carry this light

a day will come when all is won [one]
and life is filled with love
when dreams aren't dead and plains aren't red,
a revolution has begun!

let's feed the children and the masses as they intertwine,
the knowledge they have craved so long we give to them to find
our news to them is taken well and passed throughout the ages;
hold on to this, dear sweet ones, we've got to pass the stages
of mutiny and tyranny and all the saddest woes
remember you are not alone, together we will go!

forever we shall be lead on, by nothing but the truth
don't follow him, nor her, nor me
to find your destiny.....
for in your heart you hold the key,
to life, love, and *everything

i don't like making promises because they never keep
steel & bones is the life i will lead
to break down the barriers is more than i could take
somehow, someway, the truth never fakes
