Step outside into a world with so many people
understand that life can be deceiving
live in hope that you can cope for another day
understand that giving is receiving
They say, oh I can feel the waves roll in
as time begins to slip right through my fingers
The silent suffering's all around you
it burns your soul as it surrounds you
it leaves a hole when it has bound you
it rides the waves in hope to drown you
Step inside and see a world without any people
understand that this is not who you are
live in trust that life's not just fearing your future
understand that alone you've come this far
They say, oh I can feel the waves roll in
as time begins to slip right through my fingers
The silent suffering's all around you
it takes its place as it surrounds you
it hides its face from those who found you
it rides the waves in hope to drown you
They say, I want to reach another shore
I understand there's so much more
they know, inside their minds the battles rage
while placed upon life's empty stage
Find out why the suffering hides
and why each breath is filled with need
presence of mind to reach inside
and find out why old wounds still bleed
They say, oh I can feel new life begin
as hope has found a grip within my fingers
The silent suffering's all around you
it burns your soul as it surrounds you
it takes its toll when it has bound you
it rides the waves in hope to drown you
don't let it drown you
