Don't let the silence get you down, Though you've been sitting here for hours. Hoping a voice could soon be found That speaks much louder than this music. For you're a little off colour and out for the count, Don't let that get you down Don't let the talking keep you up, If they're your friends they'll share your vision And as the phone rings break the silence They don't figure out that you don't want to answer
For you're a little off colour and tired of the sound Don't let it get you down Don't let the people make you think That just because you're young you're useless You know it's not naive to think That you can change the things around and that no man is an island For I'd rather be a pebble in an ocean vast And drown alone than make no sound
