Lyrics

You don?t have to speak. You don?t need to make a sound.
This is not a prayer, it?s the other way around.
Close your eyes or leave them open wide.
Breathe and listen for, a gentle voice inside
In the silence, in the silence.

The scene is set and idle thoughts may take the stage.
Observe them passing and choose not to engage.
Chaos on the outside, you?re able to release.
Deeper and deeper, nothing but a state of peace.
In the silence, in the silence.

Bridge:

You can perfect a yoga pose
or find a guru I suppose,
Or disregard any of those,
and do this on your own

in the Silence, in the silence.

In the dead of night, in the light of day,
in the silence.
In the passing of a moment, in the shadow,
in the silence.

In a dark room, at a red light,
on a park bench, on a day hike
In a dream state, any time o?day,
any waking hour, on the subway,
In a crowded elevator

In the silence
In the silence
In the silence
In the silence
