Listen to the Silence (Acoustic Version)

The streets are quiet tonight

There must be something goin’ on.

There’s an old man beggin’

For life,

To no one at all.

Listen to the silence

Listen to it whisper and moan

Listen

It just might tell us

What’s going on.

The streets are quiet tonight

And I’m feeling so alone.

The old man finds a place to sleep
He prays the Lord his soul to keep.

He mocks the wine and holy host,

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

Listen to the silence

Listen to it whisper and moan

Listen

It just might tell us

What’s going on.

There’s a light on out there somewhere.
There’s a symphony to the soul

Listen,

It just might tell us,

Which way to go.

And now with fog in the streets

Clouding my way,

Making my heart race.

Look at is baby,

Where are we goin’?

Are we ever gonna get out

Of this place?

Listen to the silence

Listen to it whisper and moan

Listen

It just might tell us

What’s going on.

Listen to the silence

Listen to it whisper and moan

Listen

It just might tell us

Where to go from here.

Where to stop from here.

When to turn from here.

When to leave here.

Where to go from here.
