Some live their life in silence
their voices never heard
they hide behind their fears
and never speak a word
against evil and it's violence
or injustice in our world
they close their eyes and ears
their voices never heard
They won't break the silence
and stand up to be counted
they've let the sadness
turn their hearts away
though they can see the children suffer
they cling in shadows to each other
praying someone else will stand and fight
still they cry
The desperation and the sadness
has left them too afraid to run
so they hide behind their pain
like they've always done
until the day the madmen
came knocking down their door
and everything they feared
refused to be ignored
Now they can't break the silence
or stand up to be counted
they've let the sadness
turn their hearts away
though they know the children suffer
they hide in darkness with each other
praying someone else will stand and fight
still they cry
still they cry
still they cry
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you
in the middle of the night
where you gonna run
where you gonna go
when there's no place left to hide
