38 Special - Shatter The Silence Lyrics
You better run, here comes your mamaHer eyes see red this timeYou should be workin' boy, instead of daydreamin'She says that you're a bad onegot the wrong things on your mindSo 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 heartThe best kept secrets never stay in the darkDefiance only makes him strongThe child grows up, he ain't silent for long.......not for longYour daddy tried to buy your silenceHis eyes seemed to hold a threatHe'd blame all your bruises on rough games in the schoolyardThe strike of his hand upon youwas all the attention that you could getSoon 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 tellIt's a long way from Heaven when you're livin' in HellDefiance...It's time to even the scoreThe child grows up, he ain't silent no moreThe Silence....Now it's time to be heardIt's hard stayin' quiet when you can't breathe a wordSilence...It's a two-edge swordThe 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......
