How much must I close my heart,
to see your soul drifting,
and say nothing?
To hold the key to eternity,
but keep it hidden in trembling hands.

What fear binds my tongue?
What pride blinds my eyes?
How much must I love my comfort,
to leave you lost in the dark?
I **** you with my silence.

If I believe in a light
that shatters death,
that has power over the grave,
how can I keep it from you?

Every moment I stay silent,
is a choice,
a denial of the hope I claim.
If I believe, if truly I believe like I say
Then why do I **** you with my silence?
How much must I hate you
to let you walk alone?

It is not kindness to say nothing.
It is not compassion to let you remain.
My silence does not free you of rules,
it does not free you of consequences,
My silence damns you

So my silence I must break,
Even if it costs me everything,
even if you turn away.
Because to love
is to share what cannot be lost
