1
00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:08,900
For you, I'll sing this song

2
00:00:08,910 --> 00:00:11,100
Please stay, it won't last long

3
00:00:11,110 --> 00:00:13,400
Years after we are long gone

4
00:00:13,410 --> 00:00:15,700
The meaning will stay strong

5
00:00:15,710 --> 00:00:17,980
Silence is what this song's about

6
00:00:17,980 --> 00:00:20,200
Numb to the world all around

7
00:00:20,210 --> 00:00:22,700
But I will sing of this place

8
00:00:22,710 --> 00:00:25,900
Hoping it finds you some way

9
00:00:25,910 --> 00:00:29,400
People needing to be saved

10
00:00:29,410 --> 00:00:31,700
Scream out for help every day

11
00:00:31,710 --> 00:00:34,050
But we grow numb to the sounds

12
00:00:34,050 --> 00:00:36,400
And feelings slowly start to drown

13
00:00:36,410 --> 00:00:38,050
The first time, we can hear a voice

14
00:00:38,050 --> 00:00:40,900
But soon it all becomes noise

15
00:00:40,910 --> 00:00:43,200
Fading to silence in the end

16
00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:45,400
I know it doesn't make sense...

17
00:00:45,410 --> 00:00:47,700
When sound all ceases to exist

18
00:00:47,710 --> 00:00:49,900
People think that means happiness

19
00:00:49,910 --> 00:00:52,400
And all the sounds that used to be

20
00:00:52,410 --> 00:00:54,400
Are all just noise to you and me

21
00:00:54,410 --> 00:00:56,900
The cries of help disappear

22
00:00:56,910 --> 00:00:59,200
The silence numbs all of our ears

23
00:00:59,210 --> 00:01:01,400
And when we stop listening

24
00:01:01,410 --> 00:01:06,300
Those screams stop meaning anything

25
00:01:06,310 --> 00:01:19,000
Don't you let your heart grow numb to everyone

26
00:01:19,010 --> 00:01:26,300
Oh child, listen to the “sound of silence”

27
00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:36,800
Saving someone else means saving yourself

28
00:01:36,810 --> 00:01:45,300
It's true, and I'm sure you know it too

29
00:01:45,310 --> 00:01:47,300
When you hear an “SOS”

30
00:01:47,310 --> 00:01:49,500
Answering it becomes a test

31
00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:51,800
It can give the life you lead

32
00:01:51,810 --> 00:01:54,000
A meaning that you'd never seen

33
00:01:54,010 --> 00:01:56,300
So don't resist a call for help

34
00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:58,500
Cause in the end it will tell you

35
00:01:58,510 --> 00:02:01,000
How to treasure yourself

36
00:02:01,010 --> 00:02:03,000
And not be alone

37
00:02:03,010 --> 00:02:05,500
It might seem a little strange

38
00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:07,800
To share this song this way

39
00:02:07,810 --> 00:02:10,000
But I know what I must do

40
00:02:10,010 --> 00:02:12,020
Is share the meaning with you

41
00:02:12,020 --> 00:02:14,500
All this I learned from someone

42
00:02:14,510 --> 00:02:16,020
Who spent his life among

43
00:02:16,020 --> 00:02:19,020
People screaming out for help

44
00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:23,000
Doing everything to reach out

45
00:02:23,010 --> 00:02:36,020
Don't you let your heart grow numb to everyone

46
00:02:36,020 --> 00:02:43,020
Oh child, listen to the “sound of silence”

47
00:02:43,020 --> 00:02:54,500
Saving someone else means saving yourself

48
00:02:54,510 --> 00:03:03,600
It's true, and I'm sure you know it too

49
00:03:03,610 --> 00:03:54,500
Don't you let your heart grow numb to everyone

50
00:03:54,510 --> 00:04:01,700
Oh child, listen to the “sound of silence”

51
00:04:01,710 --> 00:04:12,200
Saving someone else means saving yourself

52
00:04:12,210 --> 00:04:20,700
It's true, and I'm sure you know it too

53
00:04:20,710 --> 00:05:24,000
Now I'd like to thank you for staying by 
my side
