Between the Words

Let’s take a pause between the words we speak, A gentle breath, a moment to be weak. The silence gives each meaning room to grow, A deeper truth than rushing voices show. Let’s take a pause along the road we walk, To see the signs, to hear the stones that talk. For running blind, we circle round again, But slowing down can show us where we’ve been. In the silence, I can hear, All the truths that disappear. Every pause can light the night, Every silence gives me sight. Let’s learn the quiet, more than endless sound, For in the noise no friendship can be found. When voices fade, the distance falls away, And hidden paths return into the day. We thought we flew on horses bold and strong, But only ran in circles all along. The quiet shows how far we drifted wide, And what was lost comes clearer from inside. Final Chorus In the silence, I can hear, All the truths that disappear. Every pause can light the night, Every silence gives me sight.
