we are born alone and lonely we remain

when we learn to speak we speak to hear a voice

as the years go by we learn a thousand words

then we try to talk to curse the silent sky



like diamonds in the ground

we are waiting to be found

in silence we are bound

by the wailing wall of sound



want to break the shell and cut the puppet strings

with our primal screams that echoes back inside

want to pierce the noise and make our voices heard

to the distant shapes that wonders who we are



we must put aside the weapons of our minds

cross the no man's land come with empty hands

overcome the fear to drop the last defence

speak forbidden words reach out beyond ourselves
