lyrics

Whispering, whispering, whispering
Words for you, my friend
I’ve lost you again
Were you ever here?

Whispering, whispering, whispering
Songs to get you close
I’m alone, once more
Stuck in a dream

I was born a child of the silence
Wish I was born a child of the sound.
I was born with a mouth wide open
But I am living as if it were shut.

Wondering, wondering, wondering
Where my people are
They didn’t hear me call?
My voice didn’t reach, oh

What to do, what to do, what to do
Every thought, every will
Everything I feel
Is dying down in my throat

My soul is trapped up inside
Because my voice isn’t loud enough

I was born a child of the silence
Wish I was born a child of the sound
I was born with a mouth wide open but
I am living as if it were shut
