Silent Words - Sami Yusuf

Beyond the lines of no man’s land

Time stands still

My voice is weak, but far away, I softly speak

In silent words, on folded knees

With silent words we call the night

To bring you sleep & dry your eyes

To bring you dreams & free your minds

When every hope has gone, we hold on

With silent words we’ll ask the dawn

To chase your fears when nights are long

A million voices in to one

When every hope has gone

We echo all night through

With silent words we are with you

With every tear you cry, we’ll comfort you

Standing by your side, as one with you

You can find us, deep in the silence

Carried in the soft winds passing through

We’ll be your shadow, today and tomorrow

There to follow everything you do
