SOS

(ｆｏｒｙｏｕ，ｉ’ｌｌｓｉｎｇｔｈｉｓｓｏｎｇ)

For you, I'll sing this song

(ｐｌｅａｓｅｓｔａｙ，ｉｔｗｏｎ’ｔｌａｓｔｌｏｎｇ)

Please stay, it won't last long

(ｙｅａｒｓａｆｔｅｒｗｅａｒｅｌｏｎｇｇｏｎｅ)

Years after we are long gone

(ｔｈｅｍｅａｎｉｎｇｗｉｌｌｓｔａｙｓｔｒｏｎｇ)

The meaning will stay strong

(ｓｉｌｅｎｃｅｉｓｗｈａｔｔｈｉｓｓｏｎｇ’ｓａｂｏｕｔ)

Silence is what this song's about

(ｎｕｍｂｔｏｔｈｅｗｏｒｌｄａｌｌａｒｏｕｎｄ)

Numb to the world all around

(ｂｕｔｉｗｉｌｌｓｉｎｇｏｆｔｈｉｓｐｌａｃｅ)

But I will sing of this place

(ｈｏｐｉｎｇｉｔｆｉｎｄｓｙｏｕｓｏｍｅｗａｙ)

Hoping it finds you some way

(ｐｅｏｐｌｅｎｅｅｄｉｎｇｔｏｂｅｓａｖｅｄ)

People needing to be saved

(ｓｃｒｅａｍｏｕｔｆｏｒｈｅｌｐｅｖｅｒｙｄａｙ)

Scream out for help every day

(ｂｕｔｗｅｇｒｏｗｎｕｍｂｔｏｔｈｅｓｏｕｎｄｓ)

But we grow numb to the sounds

(ａｎｄｆｅｅｌｉｎｇｓｓｌｏｗｌｙｓｔａｒｔｔｏｄｒｏｗｎ)

And feelings slowly start to drown

(ｔｈｅｆｉｒｓｔｔｉｍｅ，ｗｅｃａｎｈｅａｒａｖｏｉｃｅ)

The first time, we can hear a voice

(ｂｕｔｓｏｏｎｉｔａｌｌｂｅｃｏｍｅｓｎｏｉｓｅ)

But soon it all becomes noise

(ｆａｄｉｎｇｔｏｓｉｌｅｎｃｅｉｎｔｈｅｅｎｄ)

Fading to silence in the end

(ｉｋｎｏｗｉｔｄｏｅｓｎ’ｔｍａｋｅｓｅｎｓｅ．．．)

I know it doesn't make sense...

(ｗｈｅｎｓｏｕｎｄａｌｌｃｅａｓｅｓｔｏｅｘｉｓｔ)

When sound all ceases to exist

(ｐｅｏｐｌｅｔｈｉｎｋｔｈａｔｍｅａｎｓｈａｐｐｉｎｅｓｓ)

People think that means happiness

(ａｎｄａｌｌｔｈｅｓｏｕｎｄｓｔｈａｔｕｓｅｄｔｏｂｅ)

And all the sounds that used to be

(ａｒｅａｌｌｊｕｓｔｎｏｉｓｅｔｏｙｏｕａｎｄｍｅ)

Are all just noise to you and me

(ｔｈｅｃｒｉｅｓｏｆｈｅｌｐｄｉｓａｐｐｅａｒ)

The cries of help disappear

(ｔｈｅｓｉｌｅｎｃｅｎｕｍｂｓａｌｌｏｆｏｕｒｅａｒｓ)

The silence numbs all of our ears

(ａｎｄｗｈｅｎｗｅｓｔｏｐｌｉｓｔｅｎｉｎｇ)

And when we stop listening

(ｔｈｏｓｅｓｃｒｅａｍｓｓｔｏｐｍｅａｎｉｎｇａｎｙｔｈｉｎｇ)

Those screams stop meaning anything

(ｄｏｎ’ｔｙｏｕｌａｔｙｏｕｒｈｅａｒｔ)

Don't you lat your heart

(ｇｒｏｗｎｕｍｂｔｏｅｖｅｒｙｏｎｅ)

grow numb to everyone

(ｏｈｃｈｉｌｄ，ｌｉｓｔｅｎｔｏｔｈｅ)

Oh child, listen to the

(”ｓｏｕｎｄｏｆｓｉｌｅｎｃｅ”)

"sound of silence"

(ｓａｖｉｎｇｓｏｍｅｏｎｅｅｌｓｅ)

Saving someone else

(ｍｅａｎｓｓａｖｉｎｇｙｏｕｒｓｅｌｆ)

means saving yourself

(ｉｔ’ｓｔｒｕｅ，ａｎｄｉ’ｍｓｕｒｅ)

It's true, and I'm sure

(ｙｏｕｋｎｏｗｉｔｔｏｏ)

you know it too

(ｗｈｅｎｙｏｕｈｅａｒａｎ”ｓｏｓ”)

When you hear an "SOS"

(ａｎｓｗｅｒｉｎｇｉｔｂｅｃｏｍｅｓａｔｅｓｔ)

Answering it becomes a test

(ｉｔｃａｎｇｉｖｅｔｈｅｌｉｆｅｙｏｕｌｅａｄ)

It can give the life you lead

(ａｍｅａｎｉｎｇｔｈａｔｙｏｕ’ｄｎｅｖｅｒｓｅｅｎ)

A meaning that you'd never seen

(ｓｏｄｏｎ’ｔｒｅｓｉｓｔａｃａｌｌｆｏｒｈｅｌｐ)

So don't resist a call for help

(ｃａｕｓｅｉｎｔｈｅｅｎｄｉｔｗｉｌｌｔｅｌｌｙｏｕ)

Cause in the end it will tell you

(ｈｏｗｔｏｔｒｅａｓｕｒｅｙｏｕｒｓｅｌｆ)

How to treasure yourself

(ａｎｄｎｏｔｂｅａｌｏｎｅ)

And not be alone

(ｉｔｍｉｇｈｔｓｅｅｍａｌｉｔｔｌｅｓｔｒａｎｇｅ)

It might seem a little strange

(ｔｏｓｈａｒｅｔｈｉｓｓｏｎｇｔｈｉｓｗａｙ)

To share this song this way

(ｂｕｔｉｋｎｏｗｗｈａｔｉｍｕｓｔｄｏ)

But I know what I must do

(ｉｓｓｈａｒｅｔｈｅｍｅａｎｉｎｇｗｉｔｈｙｏｕ)

Is share the meaning with you

(ａｌｌｔｈｉｓｉｌｅａｒｎｅｄｆｒｏｍｓｏｍｅｏｎｅ)

All this I learned from someone

(ｗｈｏｓｐｅｎｔｈｉｓｌｉｆｅａｍｏｎｇ)

Who spent his life among

(ｐｅｏｐｌｅｓｃｒｅａｍｉｎｇｏｕｔｆｏｒｈｅｌｐ)

People screaming out for help

(ｄｏｉｎｇｅｖｅｒｙｔｈｉｎｇｔｏｒｅａｃｈｏｕｔ)

Doing everything to reach out

(ｄｏｎ’ｔｙｏｕｌｅｔｙｏｕｒｈｅａｒｔ)

Don't you let your heart

(ｇｒｏｗｎｕｍｂｔｏｅｖｅｒｙｏｎｅ)

grow numb to everyone

(ｏｈｃｈｉｌｄ，ｌｉｓｔｅｎｔｏｔｈｅ)

Oh child, listen to the

(”ｓｏｕｎｄｏｆｓｉｌｅｎｃｅ”)

"sound of silence"

(ｓａｖｉｎｇｓｏｍｅｏｎｅｅｌｓｅ)

Saving someone else

(ｍｅａｎｓｓａｖｉｎｇｙｏｕｒｓｅｌｆ)

means saving yourself

(ｉｔ’ｓｔｒｕｅ，ａｎｄｉ’ｍｓｕｒｅ)

It's true, and I'm sure

(ｙｏｕｋｎｏｗｉｔｔｏｏ)

you know it too

(ｎｏｗｉ’ｄｔｏ)

Now I'd to

(ｔｈａｎｋｙｏｕｆｏｒｓｔａｖｉｎｇ)

thank you for staving

(ｂｙｍｙｓｉｄｅ．．．)

by my side...
