38 Special Shatter The Silence Lyrics

You better run, here comes your mama
Her eyes see red this time
You should be workin' boy, instead of daydreamin'
She says that you're a bad one
Got the wrong things on your mind
So you turn up the music loud to block out her
screamin'
.....No words of love are ever spoken
....and he's gonna leave this place ...once the door is
open
(1st Chorus)
He'll Shatter the Silence with every beat of his heart
The best kept secrets never stay in the dark
Defiance only makes him strong
The child grows up, he ain't silent for long.......not
for long

Your daddy tried to buy your silence
His eyes seemed to hold a threat
He'd blame all your bruises on rough games in the
schoolyard
The strike of his hand upon you
Was all the attention that you could get Soon you would push your luck just to get all you
needed
.......'Til now all the shame remained unspoken
.....But watch how the children rise....once their eyes
are opened
(2nd Chorus)
They'll Shatter the Silence, now it's their turn to
tell
It's a long way from Heaven when you're livin' in Hell
Defiance...It's time to even the score
The child grows up, he ain't silent no more
The Silence....Now it's time to be heard
It's hard stayin' quiet when you can't breathe a word
Silence...It's a two-edge sword
The child grows, he ain't silent no more.....
He ain't silent no more!....no no..

They'll Shatter the the Silence...
Shatter the Silence....(silent no more)
They'll Shatter the Silence......
