新旭 - Sound of Silence
Silence
And in the naked light
I saw ten thousand people maybe more
People talking
Without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs
That voices never share
And no one dared disturb
The sound of silence
Fool said I you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words like silent rain-drops fell
And echo-ed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flash out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said
The words of the prophets are
Written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence
