Please stay, it won’t last long

Years after we are long gone

The meaning will stay strong

Silence is what this song’s about

Numb to the world all around

But I will sing of this place

Hoping it finds you some way

People needing to be saved

Scream out for help every day

But we grow numb to the sounds

And feelings slowly start to drown

The first time, we can hear a voice

But soon it all becomes noise

Fading to silence in the end

I know it doesn’t make sense…

When sound all ceases to exist

People think that means happiness

And all the sounds that used to be

Are all just noise to you and me

The cries of help disappear

The silence numbs all of our ears

And when we stop listening

Those screams stop meaning anything

Don’t you let your heart grow numb to everyone

Oh child, listen to the “sound of silence”

Saving someone else means saving yourself

It’s true, and I’m sure you know it too

When you hear an “SOS”

Answering it becomes a test

It can give the life you lead

A meaning that you’d never seen

So don’t resist a call for help

Cause in the end it will tell you

How to treasure yourself

And not be alone

It might seem a little strange

To share this song this way

But I know what I must do

Is share the meaning with you

All this I learned from someone

Who spent his life among

People screaming out for help

Doing everything to reach out

Don’t you let your heart grow numb to everyone

Oh child, listen to the “sound of silence”

Saving someone else means saving yourself

It’s true, and I’m sure you know it too

Don’t you let your heart grow numb to everyone

Oh child, listen to the “sound of silence”

Saving someone else means saving yourself

It’s true, and I’m sure you know it too

Now I’d like to thank you for staying by my side…
