“Driving in Silence”


Verse 1
I asked my daughter the other day,
“Is your car still makin’ that sound?”
She said, “I don’t really know, Dad —
I just turned the stereo loud.”
And I laughed for a second, then I felt the truth,
How many times have I done that too?
Crank the dial just to drown out the proof,
That something needs my view.

Chorus
So I turned off the stereo,
Let the quiet fill the air,
Heard the hum of the tires and the wind in my hair.
In the silence, I found something rare,
The voice I’d been missin’ —
It was already there.

Verse 2
Sometimes the noise is a comfort zone,
A song that keeps the fear away.
But in the hush of that open road,
The truth’s got a lot to say.
I heard my worries whisper,
I heard my heart explain,
That peace ain’t found in the volume,
It’s found inside the pain.

Chorus
So I turned off the stereo,
Let the quiet fill the air,
Heard the hum of the tires and the wind in my hair.
In the silence, I found something rare,
The voice I’d been missin’ —
It was already there.

Bridge
Next time the world gets loud,
And the noise starts closing in,
I’ll turn it all down,
And just listen again.

Final Chorus
I’ll turn off the stereo,
Let the quiet lead the way,
Through the echoes of my thoughts and the things I didn’t say.
In the silence, I learned how to pray,
Sometimes the sound of nothing
Says more than words anyway.

Outro
Driving in silence…
Just me and the road today.
