SOS

(ｆｏｒ　ｙｏｕ，　ｉ’ｌｌ　ｓｉｎｇ　ｔｈｉｓ　ｓｏｎｇ)

For you, I'll sing this song

(ｐｌｅａｓｅ　ｓｔａｙ，　ｉｔ　ｗｏｎ’ｔ　ｌａｓｔ　ｌｏｎｇ)

Please stay, it won't last long

(ｙｅａｒｓ　ａｆｔｅｒ　ｗｅ　ａｒｅ　ｌｏｎｇ　ｇｏｎｅ)

Years after we are long gone

(ｔｈｅ　ｍｅａｎｉｎｇ　ｗｉｌｌ　ｓｔａｙ　ｓｔｒｏｎｇ)

The meaning will stay strong

(ｓｉｌｅｎｃｅ　ｉｓ　ｗｈａｔ　ｔｈｉｓ　ｓｏｎｇ’ｓ　ａｂｏｕｔ)

Silence is what this song's about

(ｎｕｍｂ　ｔｏ　ｔｈｅ　ｗｏｒｌｄ　ａｌｌ　ａｒｏｕｎｄ)

Numb to the world all around

(ｂｕｔ　ｉ　ｗｉｌｌ　ｓｉｎｇ　ｏｆ　ｔｈｉｓ　ｐｌａｃｅ)

But I will sing of this place

(ｈｏｐｉｎｇ　ｉｔ　ｆｉｎｄｓ　ｙｏｕ　ｓｏｍｅ　ｗａｙ)

Hoping it finds you some way

(ｐｅｏｐｌｅ　ｎｅｅｄｉｎｇ　ｔｏ　ｂｅ　ｓａｖｅｄ)

People needing to be saved

(ｓｃｒｅａｍ　ｏｕｔ　ｆｏｒ　ｈｅｌｐ　ｅｖｅｒｙ　ｄａｙ)

Scream out for help every day

(ｂｕｔ　ｗｅ　ｇｒｏｗ　ｎｕｍｂ　ｔｏ　ｔｈｅ　ｓｏｕｎｄｓ)

But we grow numb to the sounds

(ａｎｄ　ｆｅｅｌｉｎｇｓ　ｓｌｏｗｌｙ　ｓｔａｒｔ　ｔｏ　ｄｒｏｗｎ)

And feelings slowly start to drown

(ｔｈｅ　ｆｉｒｓｔ　ｔｉｍｅ，　ｗｅ　ｃａｎ　ｈｅａｒ　ａ　ｖｏｉｃｅ)

The first time, we can hear a voice

(ｂｕｔ　ｓｏｏｎ　ｉｔ　ａｌｌ　ｂｅｃｏｍｅｓ　ｎｏｉｓｅ)

But soon it all becomes noise

(ｆａｄｉｎｇ　ｔｏ　ｓｉｌｅｎｃｅ　ｉｎ　ｔｈｅ　ｅｎｄ)

Fading to silence in the end

(ｉ　ｋｎｏｗ　ｉｔ　ｄｏｅｓｎ’ｔ　ｍａｋｅ　ｓｅｎｓｅ．．．)

I know it doesn't make sense...

(ｗｈｅｎ　ｓｏｕｎｄ　ａｌｌ　ｃｅａｓｅｓ　ｔｏ　ｅｘｉｓｔ)

When sound all ceases to exist

(ｐｅｏｐｌｅ　ｔｈｉｎｋ　ｔｈａｔ　ｍｅａｎｓ　ｈａｐｐｉｎｅｓｓ)

People think that means happiness

(ａｎｄ　ａｌｌ　ｔｈｅ　ｓｏｕｎｄｓ　ｔｈａｔ　ｕｓｅｄ　ｔｏ　ｂｅ)

And all the sounds that used to be

(ａｒｅ　ａｌｌ　ｊｕｓｔ　ｎｏｉｓｅ　ｔｏ　ｙｏｕ　ａｎｄ　ｍｅ)

Are all just noise to you and me

(ｔｈｅ　ｃｒｉｅｓ　ｏｆ　ｈｅｌｐ　ｄｉｓａｐｐｅａｒ)

The cries of help disappear

(ｔｈｅ　ｓｉｌｅｎｃｅ　ｎｕｍｂｓ　ａｌｌ　ｏｆ　ｏｕｒ　ｅａｒｓ)

The silence numbs all of our ears

(ａｎｄ　ｗｈｅｎ　ｗｅ　ｓｔｏｐ　ｌｉｓｔｅｎｉｎｇ)

And when we stop listening

(ｔｈｏｓｅ　ｓｃｒｅａｍｓ　ｓｔｏｐ　ｍｅａｎｉｎｇ　ａｎｙｔｈｉｎｇ)

Those screams stop meaning anything

(ｄｏｎ’ｔ　ｙｏｕ　ｌｅｔ　ｙｏｕｒ　ｈｅａｒｔ　ｇｒｏｗ)

Don't you let your heart grow

(ｎｕｍｂ　ｔｏ　ｅｖｅｒｙｏｎｅ)

Numb to everyone

(ｏｈ　ｃｈｉｌｄ，　ｌｉｓｔｅｎ　ｔｏ　ｔｈｅ)

Oh child, listen to the

(”ｓｏｕｎｄ　ｏｆ　ｓｉｌｅｎｃｅ”)

"Sound of silence"

(ｓａｖｉｎｇ　ｓｏｍｅｏｎｅ　ｅｌｓｅ)

Saving someone else

(ｍｅａｎｓ　ｓａｖｉｎｇ　ｙｏｕｒｓｅｌｆ)

Means saving yourself

(ｉｔ’ｓ　ｔｒｕｅ，　ａｎｄ　ｉ’ｍ　ｓｕｒｅ　ｙｏｕ)

It's true, and I'm sure you

(ｋｎｏｗ　ｉｔ　ｔｏｏ)

Know it too

(ｗｈｅｎ　ｙｏｕ　ｈｅａｒ　ａｎ　”ｓｏｓ”)

When you hear an "SOS"

(ａｎｓｗｅｒｉｎｇ　ｉｔ　ｂｅｃｏｍｅｓ　ａ　ｔｅｓｔ)

Answering it becomes a test

(ｉｔ　ｃａｎ　ｇｉｖｅ　ｔｈｅ　ｌｉｆｅ　ｙｏｕｒ　ｌｅａｄ)

It can give the life your lead

(ａ　ｍｅａｎｉｎｇ　ｔｈａｔ　ｙｏｕ’ｄ　ｎｅｖｅｒ　ｓｅｅｎ)

A meaning that you'd never seen

(ｓｏ　ｄｏｎ’ｔ　ｒｅｓｉｓｔ　ａ　ｃａｌｌ　ｆｏｒ　ｈｅｌｐ)

So don't resist a call for help

(ｃａｕｓｅ　ｉｎ　ｔｈｅ　ｅｎｄ　ｉｔ　ｗｉｌｌ　ｔｅｌｌ　ｙｏｕ)

Cause in the end it will tell you

(ｈｏｗ　ｔｏ　ｔｒｅａｓｕｒｅ　ｙｏｕｒｓｅｌｆ)

How to treasure yourself

(ａｎｄ　ｎｏｔ　ｂｅ　ａｌｏｎｅ)

And not be alone

(ｉｔ　ｍｉｇｈｔ　ｓｅｅｍ　ａ　ｌｉｔｔｌｅ　ｓｔｒａｎｇｅ)

It might seem a little strange

(ｔｏ　ｓｈａｒｅ　ｔｈｉｓ　ｓｏｎｇ　ｔｈｉｓ　ｗａｙ)

To share this song this way

(ｂｕｔ　ｉ　ｋｎｏｗ　ｗｈａｔ　ｉ　ｍｕｓｔ　ｄｏ)

But I know what I must do

(ｉｓ　ｓｈａｒｅ　ｔｈｅ　ｍｅａｎｉｎｇ　ｗｉｔｈ　ｙｏｕ)

Is share the meaning with you

(ａｌｌ　ｔｈｉｓ　ｉ　ｌｅａｒｎｅｄ　ｆｒｏｍ　ｓｏｍｅｏｎｅ)

All this I learned from someone

(ｗｈｏ　ｓｐｅｎｔ　ｈｉｓ　ｌｉｆｅ　ａｍｏｎｇ)

Who spent his life among

(ｐｅｏｐｌｅ　ｓｃｒｅａｍｉｎｇ　ｏｕｔ　ｆｏｒ　ｈｅｌｐ)

People screaming out for help

(ｄｏｉｎｇ　ｅｖｅｒｙｔｈｉｎｇ　ｔｏ　ｒｅａｃｈ　ｏｕｔ)

Doing everything to reach out

(ｄｏｎ’ｔ　ｙｏｕ　ｌｅｔ　ｙｏｕｒ　ｈｅａｒｔ　ｇｒｏｗ)

Don't you let your heart grow

(ｎｕｍｂ　ｔｏ　ｅｖｅｒｙｏｎｅ)

Numb to everyone

(ｏｈ　ｃｈｉｌｄ，　ｌｉｓｔｅｎ　ｔｏ　ｔｈｅ)

Oh child, listen to the

(”ｓｏｕｎｄ　ｏｆ　ｓｉｌｅｎｃｅ”)

"Sound of silence"

(ｓａｖｉｎｇ　ｓｏｍｅｏｎｅ　ｅｌｓｅ)

Saving someone else

(ｍｅａｎｓ　ｓａｖｉｎｇ　ｙｏｕｒｓｅｌｆ)

Means saving yourself

(ｉｔ’ｓ　ｔｒｕｅ，　ａｎｄ　ｉ’ｍ　ｓｕｒｅ　ｙｏｕ)

It's true, and I'm sure you

(ｋｎｏｗ　ｉｔ　ｔｏｏ)

Know it too

(ｎｏｗ　ｉ’ｄ　ｌｉｋｅ　ｔｏ　ｔｈａｎｋ　ｙｏｕ)

Now I'd like to thank you

(ｆｏｒ　ｓｔａｙｉｎｇ　ｂｙ　ｍｙ　ｓｉｄｅ．．．)

For staying by my side...
