In Silence
By John J Heartfield
I grew up in silence
It was my choice to hide my voice
Felt a need and denied it
Thinking I could never try
By John J Heartfield
I grew up in silence
It was my choice to hide my voice
Felt a need and denied it
Thinking I could never try
All alone you are thrown
Against the madness
It can tear you apart
I grew up in silence
But tonight I’m going to
Sing my part
One life’s all you’re given
And if you hide
You waste your time
I will give it everything
Keep on trying
For that perfect line
All alone you are thrown
Against the madness
It can tear at your heart
This world’s full of weakness
Still tonight I’m going to
Sing my part
This world’s full of people
Who will try to bind and tie
They can’t hear the singing
All they hear is their own fear
All alone you are thrown
Against the madness
It can change who you are
One life’s all you’re given
Tonight I’m going to
Sing my part
