For you
I'll sing this song
Please stay it
won't last long
Years after
we are long gone
The meaning
will stay strong
Silence is
what this
song's about
Numb to the world
all around
But I will sing
of this place
Hoping it
finds you some way
People needing
to be saved
Scream out for
help every day
But we grow numb
to the sounds
And feelings slowly
start to drown
The first time
we can hear a voice
But soon it
all becomes noise
Fading to silence
in the end
I know it doesn't
make sense
When sound all
ceases to exist
People think that
means happiness
And all the sounds
that used to be
Are all just noise
to you and me
The cries of
help disappear
The silence numbs
all of our ears
And when we
stop listening
Those screams stop
meaning anything
Don't you let
your heart grow
numb to everyone
Oh child
listen to the
sound of silence
Saving someone else
means saving
yourself
It's true
and I'm sure
you know it too
When you hear
an SOS
Answering it
becomes a test
It can give
the life you lead
A meaning that
you'd never seen
So don't resist
a call for help
Cause in the end
it will tell you
How to
treasure yourself
And not be alone
It might seem
a little strange
To share this
song this way
But I know
what I must do
Is share the
meaning with you
All this
I learned
from someone
Who spent his
life among
People screaming
out for help
Doing everything
to reach out
Don't you let
your heart
grow numb
to everyone
Oh child
listen to the
sound of silence
Saving someone else
means saving
yourself
It's true
and I'm sure you
know it too
Don't you let
your heart
grow numb
to everyone
Oh child
listen to the
sound of silence
Saving someone else
means saving
yourself
It's true
and I'm sure you
know it too
Now
I'd like
to thank
you for staying
by my side
