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 longnot 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 riseonce 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
DefianceIt's time to even the score
The child grows up, he ain't silent no more
The SilenceNow it's time to be heard
It's hard stayin' quiet when you can't breathe a word
SilenceIt'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
