Silence is a way we deal with all our issues and this
is all a game we're playing on our own.
So take it up with me if you do not like this way.
I'm dealing with myself the best way I know how.

(chorus)
If silence speaks louder than these words then we will
take our turns singing sweet empty notes.
If holding onto things we can't let go then we will
never know the sounds of this silent song.

Since I was a boy I could not hold onto the grudges
you hold deep inside of your heart.
If I could have the chance to have just one more thing.
I'd give this back to him, all those years he gave to me.

(chorus)

I wear my heart on a chain around my neck.
Her love will guide me through my worst and my best.
I'm on a steady course his truths are my map.
His words will guide me home on a straight and narrow path.

(chorus)
