Shattered Silence

[Verse]
He stood in the square
His voice like a flame
They silenced his words
But they whispered his name
Now shadows fall where his laughter once stayed
[Prechorus]
Two tiny hands
Reaching for the sky
How do I tell them why?
[Chorus]
Shattered silence
A world undone
A father’s fight
Now I’m the one
To hold the weight of dreams he spun
Shattered silence
Love can't outrun
[Verse 2]
His chair by the table
Still empty and cold
The stories he told them
Now mine to hold
But his echoes
They linger
They won't grow old
[Prechorus]
I see his face in the eyes of our sons
But justice
It hides
It runs
[Chorus]
Shattered silence
A world undone
A father’s fight
Now I’m the one
To hold the weight of dreams he spun
Shattered silence
Love can't outrun
