Silent Words

I see you there but I can't reach A world you hold just out of speech I hear your heart it's loud and clear But your words are locked in fear I try to guide I try to show But the path is one I don't yet know You look at me with searching eyes I wish I knew what hides inside Silent words I feel them all Through the cracks and through the walls Every tear every smile We're learning slowly mile by mile Though the world is hard to see I'll hold your hand you'll walk with me The questions come the answers fade The doubts that linger the plans unmade I see the strength you carry near But sometimes it's just hard to hear The world outside can seem so loud But in your quiet I am proud I'll be the voice when you can't speak We'll find the words we'll find the peak Silent words I feel them all Through the cracks and through the walls Every tear every smile We're learning slowly mile by mile Though the world is hard to see I'll hold your hand you'll walk with me And though the road is long and steep Your light is strong I'll never weep In every glance in every touch I know you love I love as much Silent words I feel them all Through the cracks and through the walls Every tear every smile We're learning slowly mile by mile Though the world is hard to see I'll hold your hand you'll walk with me No need for words your heart speaks clear I'll be right here I'll always hear In every silence love will be You're not alone—you're here with me
