Deep in the crowd is a lady Who is outwardly calm But she's been touched By injustice She's felt and seen And all of her feelings Are crying to be let out And build up into A silent scream There's a silent scream There's a silent scream There's a silent scream on the rise There's a silent scream A silent scream There's a silent scream Shattering the night In his hour of desire A man is visited By the cold and Empty pain of Loneliness His weeping it is voiceless His expression says it all As he clings to his Pillow in bed There's a silent scream A silent scream There's a silent scream on the rise There's a silent scream A silent scream A silent scream Shattering the night A nation Of people Exploited and drained By greed hunger And power's thirst Have all their frustrations Channeled into a dam Pretty soon that dam's Going to burst There's a silent scream A silent scream There's a silent scream on the rise There's a silent scream A silent scream A silent scream Shattering the night
