Silence and Time - MC Roads
Lyrics by:Michael Cross
Composed by:Michael Cross
A little girl to be
A child lost purity
A shadow in the night with no one watching
There are no words to explain
The ugliness done in vain
A gentle spirit leaves her body wanting
To save her sanity
She closed her eyes and did not see
Her daddy steal her trust and leave her with nothing
But silence and time
Twenty years and maybe more
Her husband's walking out the door
He says he never wanted it this way
Another fight another lie
And her father's rage in kind
Words of love and hatred by design
That bring her down to her knees
Pray to him and ask him please
Don't leave me alone with what's inside
Silence and time
Like an old friend of mine
Weighs heavy on my mind
Silence and time
Hourglass knowing
As it pours another day
Is there mercy in the silence
Grace for pain and suffering
Or acceptance of the dark side of our nature
In another's life
Seven dead in Texas when a man walked in a sanctuary
Open fired and filled a room with terror
There are no words to explain the violation
Of those innocent good people knelt in prayer
And thirteen die at Columbine
Thirteen families asking why
A child's rage can change your life forever
And the media and lawyer fair
Desensitize the guilty chair
Glorify and keep the fire burning
Is there mercy in the silence
Grace for pain and suffering
Or acceptance of the dark side of our nature
In another's life
In another's life
In another's life
In another's life
