Silence Rings
I have soared like an eagle
I have called out like a bell
I have made myself my home
Just like a turtle in his shell
I have hollered to the wind
And heard it answer me
But somehow I'm still not free
I have loved as a father
I have loved as a child
I have traded in my tameness
For a life unkind and wild
I have faced what I have lost
And let go what might have been
But somehow I'm still not free
Oh the wind is cold when the sun don't shine
On the loading docks or deep within the mine
And the work is hard and the pay is poor
And you can remember what the point of it is for
And I will hold my tongue
Just like my father said I should
And it will break my heart
Just like my mother said it would
Silence rings like bells that toll
But secrets stay unheard
And I will never tell a soul
How pain defines a word
I have called out like a bell
I have made myself my home
Just like a turtle in his shell
I have hollered to the wind
And heard it answer me
But somehow I'm still not free
I have loved as a father
I have loved as a child
I have traded in my tameness
For a life unkind and wild
I have faced what I have lost
And let go what might have been
But somehow I'm still not free
Oh the wind is cold when the sun don't shine
On the loading docks or deep within the mine
And the work is hard and the pay is poor
And you can remember what the point of it is for
And I will hold my tongue
Just like my father said I should
And it will break my heart
Just like my mother said it would
Silence rings like bells that toll
But secrets stay unheard
And I will never tell a soul
How pain defines a word
