we are born alone and lonely we remain
when we learn to speak we speak to hear a voice
as the years go by we learn a thousand words

then we try to talk to curse the silent sky

like diamonds in the ground
we are waiting to be found
in silence we are bound
by the wailing wall of sound

want to break the shell and cut the puppet strings
with our primal screams that echoes back inside
want to pierce the noise and make our voices heard
to the distant shapes that wonders who we are

we must put aside the weapons of our minds
cross the no man's land come with empty hands
overcome the fear to drop the last defence
speak forbidden words reach out beyond ourselves
