Silent Cries

These silent cries
Come from deep inside.
These desperate screams
Lack a voice.
These eyes, they speak
More than words could tell.
How will they see
That they can get out of this hell?

The tears, they fall
One by one
For every broken daughter,
Every longing son.
For all they ever knew
Was everything that wasn't true.

These hands, they reach
For something real.
These hearts, they bleed
What do you feel?

These bodies ache,
These lives at stake!
What will it take?
Have we made a mistake?

This place is dark,
So void of light
With every heart
Bound in utter fright.

Bring forth the day!
Lead us out of this fray!
Stop the pain.
Right here we call on your name.
Right now, where we're at, we pray.
We want to hear what you have to say.
