Frightened of the shadow on the wall.
Thinking thats a bit too much like me.
Search my life forever...to get the truth.
Can you hear me...Can you hear me now?
Terrifed my tongue will now betray.
All the lies that I've been taught to say.
Search your eyes forever...til you find love.
Can you hear me...Can you hear me now?
Can you hear the child in tears...
Whose paradise was taken from his hands?
And can you hold him in your arms...
And tell him that you'll try to understand?
There's no way in hell you can.
Can you hear me...Can you hear me now?
Could you break the silence you have known?
Desperate needing faces stare me down.
Search the world for evidence of faith.
Can you hear me...Can you hear me now?
Can you hear the child in tears...
Whose innocence was stolen from her hands?
Can you hold her in your arms...
And tell her that you'll try to understand?
When there's no way in hell you can.
