I try to keep quiet


I try to keep quiet
but I keep making noise
sounds just keep coming
right out of my voice
I work hard for silence
but I don't have a choice
lately it sounds like crying

I try not to think
but my mind's making words
of all the opinions
and racket I've heard
some are cold serious
but most are absurd
somehow my face keeps on smiling

but it's all a lie
it's all a lie
it's just the spirit within me
waving goodbye
I've lost all my strength
I don't know how to try
and my spirit keeps growing smaller
my spirit keeps growing stronger

I try to keep quiet
but I keep making noise
sounds just keep coming
right out of my voice
I work hard for silence
but I don't have a choice
lately it sounds like crying
