When Silence Speaks
When the water is poisoned so you can drink enough
When the paths are blocked so you can get where you want
When the sun is covered so you can see the light
When your legs are broken so that you can jump high
When the trees are cut down so you breathe deep enough
When the fish are all killed so they could never drown
When your rights are taken so you see nothing's wrong
If we ever give up don't let me sing this song
They will be screaming it all
Over and over
Till the silence reminds of their words
Rising from the dirt
They will be screaming it all
Over and over
Till they are silenced by us
And all there is left is their dust
When the darkness covers everything
Breathe in the air and light a fire
In the deceit, strong and deafening
You wouldn't hide under a cover
When your tongue is cut out so you can speak your mind
When your face is put in papers to show your delight
When you're locked in your home so you can see the world
When you're shot so you can live the life that is so worth
They will be screaming it all
Over and over
Till the silence reminds of their words
Rising from the dirt
They will be screaming it all
Over and over
Till they are silenced by us
And all there is left is their dust
When the darkness covers everything
Breathe in the air and light a fire
In the deceit, strong and deafening
You wouldn't hide under a cover
I remember your face from when we could say we had a future
Now we can't
But we can stand for ourselves
And fight for what is right
Let's prove them wrong
Prove them wrong
Before our memories are gone
Prove them wrong
Prove them wrong
Before our memories are gone
Prove them wrong
Prove them wrong
Before our memories are gone
Prove them wrong
Prove them wrong
They will be screaming it all
Over and over
Till the silence reminds of their words
Rising from the dirt
They will be screaming it all
Over and over
Till they are silenced by us
And all there is left is their dust
When the darkness covers everything
Breathe in the air and light a fire
In the deceit, strong and deafening
You wouldn't hide under a cover
When the paths are blocked so you can get where you want
When the sun is covered so you can see the light
When your legs are broken so that you can jump high
When the trees are cut down so you breathe deep enough
When the fish are all killed so they could never drown
When your rights are taken so you see nothing's wrong
If we ever give up don't let me sing this song
They will be screaming it all
Over and over
Till the silence reminds of their words
Rising from the dirt
They will be screaming it all
Over and over
Till they are silenced by us
And all there is left is their dust
When the darkness covers everything
Breathe in the air and light a fire
In the deceit, strong and deafening
You wouldn't hide under a cover
When your tongue is cut out so you can speak your mind
When your face is put in papers to show your delight
When you're locked in your home so you can see the world
When you're shot so you can live the life that is so worth
They will be screaming it all
Over and over
Till the silence reminds of their words
Rising from the dirt
They will be screaming it all
Over and over
Till they are silenced by us
And all there is left is their dust
When the darkness covers everything
Breathe in the air and light a fire
In the deceit, strong and deafening
You wouldn't hide under a cover
I remember your face from when we could say we had a future
Now we can't
But we can stand for ourselves
And fight for what is right
Let's prove them wrong
Prove them wrong
Before our memories are gone
Prove them wrong
Prove them wrong
Before our memories are gone
Prove them wrong
Prove them wrong
Before our memories are gone
Prove them wrong
Prove them wrong
They will be screaming it all
Over and over
Till the silence reminds of their words
Rising from the dirt
They will be screaming it all
Over and over
Till they are silenced by us
And all there is left is their dust
When the darkness covers everything
Breathe in the air and light a fire
In the deceit, strong and deafening
You wouldn't hide under a cover
