I am the Silent One
You do not see, but I am here
You do not see my pain
I do not shed a tear
I suffer in silence
Feeling so alone
I have no friends to count on
I’m here all on my own
I am the Silent One
Older than my years
I keep all of their secrets
I hide from you my fears
You think I do not notice
When you look and laugh at me
You think that I don’t care
But it hurts me to see
I am the Silent One
I’m hopelessly lost
I’ve numbed myself from feeling
My heart is full of frost
So look and when you see me
Stop and lend a hand
Help me to the light again
Help me to take a stand
I am the Silent One
I can’t speak for myself
But with your gentle guidance
I can surely be helped
You do not see, but I am here
You do not see my pain
I do not shed a tear
I suffer in silence
Feeling so alone
I have no friends to count on
I’m here all on my own
I am the Silent One
Older than my years
I keep all of their secrets
I hide from you my fears
You think I do not notice
When you look and laugh at me
You think that I don’t care
But it hurts me to see
I am the Silent One
I’m hopelessly lost
I’ve numbed myself from feeling
My heart is full of frost
So look and when you see me
Stop and lend a hand
Help me to the light again
Help me to take a stand
I am the Silent One
I can’t speak for myself
But with your gentle guidance
I can surely be helped
