lyrics

The Sound of Silence
by Angelina Tran

The sound of silence
You can’t hear it
But ...
You almost feel it

What does it sound like
In an early winter morning
A little grey bird
Closes his wings
Holds his voice
And lets his mind drift
Far far away

What does it sound like
In a clear day of spring
A little seed
Says its last goodbye
And follows the wind Into
Its once-in-a-lifetime journey

What does it sound like
When a wild plant by the sea
Grows on its own
Withers by itself
Living life
Always
At its fullest

What does it sound like
In the mid-summer afternoon
A bee flaps his tiny wings
Constantly
Tirelessly
So he can fly
So he can dream
A million moments of the same dream In his daily life

What does it sound like
When the sun
Pierces
Through the leaves
As layers after layers of green cells Being warmed
Being heated
Being burned
Day after day

What does it sound like In a deep dark forest
A sapling
All by itself
Yearns for the light
Feeling too old
For the time has passed
Feeling too young
For the years are about to come

What does it sound like
In a lazy day of autumn
A squirrel
Stops looking for his acorns
He simply wanders
Around and around
Just for the sake
Of being free

What does it sound like
When a little rainbow
Was born into life
As it shines
As it fades
Through
The shades of might

What does it sound like
Oh
It sounds like silence
We can’t hear it
But
We almost feel it
From
The bottomless imagination of mine
And
The tranquil heart of yours.
