Song of Silence

[Short-instrumental intro] [Verse 1] On a wild midnight down on Main Street, Where the blues ring loud and true, There’s a man with a broken heart, Feelin' lost and feelin' blue. He's the one on the corner, Beggin’ for a dime or two, But little did he know, Redemption was comin' through. [Verse 2] One night as he was cryin', Staring at the city lights, He saw a girl so pretty, Her presence shinin' bright. She said, "I bring you hope, my friend, Gonna make things right." In her hands, she held a Bible, And she held it tight. [Chorus] Yeah, she held the Bible, held it tight, Read it every day and every night. She knew Jesus left the ninety-nine, So that the one would be just fine. [Bridge] As the days turned into nights, He found his faith, found his light. With her words, he learned to stand, A broken heart now in command. [Verse 3] Now he walks that same ol' Main Street, But he’s not beggin' for a dime. With a guitar in his hand, He’s playin' music so divine. He sings of hope and redemption, Of a love that never dies, All because a stranger saw, The pain behind his eyes. [Chorus] Yeah, she held the Bible, held it tight, Read it every day and every night. She knew Jesus left the ninety-nine, So that the one would be just fine. [Outro] On a wild midnight down on Main Street, Where the blues ring loud and true, There’s a man with a healed heart, Playin’ songs for me and you. He’s the one who found redemption, Underneath those city lights, All because a girl with a Bible, Showed him the way that night. those city lights, All because a girl with a Bible, Showed him the way that night.
