tell me why I am here to speak
to ears so deaf they will not hear
to bring forth devastation or reconciliation?
silent walls please answer me
tell me why my mother died
why I feel the pain of wounds
that never felt a scar, of infections
that scar within my soul
silent walls please speak to me
tell me why I am here to speak
to ears so deaf they will not hear
silent walls please answer me
tell me why they pretend to love me
whilst in vain I cry in pain of wounds
that were inflected by those I call
my family, my friends...
how I live dead even as tears rain down my face.
walls do speak to me.
walls do speak to me.
tell me why humans are so cruel
why babies are born dead, robed of life
robed of life by those who were meant to protect them
tell me why our leaders think to give it a fancy name (abortion)
will make it any less a sin
silent walls please answer me
tell me why I am here to speak
to ears so deaf they will not hear
I've been told I was born to speak, to educate to inform...
what use is the gift of toughs though when no one will hear
when an ear will not be lent
preaching to those who already know
how can I educate the educated?
silent walls please answer me
tell me why I am here to speak
to ears so deaf they will not hear
to brink forth devastation or reconciliation?
