Silent Walls

[Verse] Whispers on the sideline In shadows of the room They pass their silent judgements In pending afternoon Her voice a thread of silver Lost in the bustling crowd Her dreams become a whisper Barely thought aloud [Verse 2] Underneath the steeple In the town's dividing lines Her hopes are hung like ribbons On ancient Bending pines Her worth debated coldly Through lenses warped and old The world a hostile witness To stories left untold [Chorus] And the silent walls keep echoing The things they never said The walls keep closing tighter Around her fragile head The rivers never soften The stones beneath her feet In this world so unforgiving Her battles incomplete [Verse 3] Her hands are calloused flowers Her heart a hidden song She carries generations Through right and countless wrong In kitchen light or board room Her battles never change Each step a revolution Though the world remains the same [Bridge] They paint the world in colors Shades she’s never seen Write her story in the margins Like she’s caught in between But in the quiet moments Upon her rocking chair She weaves threads of a future With an unrelenting care [Verse 4] Beneath the sky She wanders In dreams of open air Her voice a tidal whisper Seeking places that are fair She builds her silent castles On shores so far and wide A legacy of whispers That no one can divide
