You better run, here comes your mama

Her eyes see red this time

You should be workin' boy, instead of daydreamin'

She says that you're a bad one

got the wrong things on your mind

So you turn up the music loud to block out her
screamin'

.....No words of love are ever spoken

....and he's gonna leave this place ...once the
door is open

(1st Chorus)

He'll Shatter the Silence with every beat of his
heart

The best kept secrets never stay in the dark

Defiance only makes him strong

The child grows up, he ain't silent for
long.......not for long

Your daddy tried to buy your silence

His eyes seemed to hold a threat

He'd blame all your bruises on rough games in the
schoolyard

The strike of his hand upon you

was all the attention that you could get

Soon you would push your luck just to get all you
needed

.......'Til now all the shame remained unspoken

.....But watch how the children rise....once
their eyes are opened

(2nd Chorus)

They'll Shatter the Silence, now it's their turn
to tell

It's a long way from Heaven when you're livin' in
Hell

Defiance...It's time to even the score

The child grows up, he ain't silent no more

The Silence....Now it's time to be heard

It's hard stayin' quiet when you can't breathe a
word

Silence...It's a two-edge sword

The child grows, he ain't silent no more.....

He ain't silent no more!....no no..

They'll Shatter the the Silence...

Shatter the Silence....(silent no more)

They'll Shatter the Silence......
