Silence

From silence I make a scream

And my whole body aches

Let me cry a little

Don't write empathy

If you don't wanna know

Look at Palestine

And at the houses burning

Look at Colombia

And at the call for freedom

At the police, at the militia

At the aggression

And you wanna talk about what?

The store that closed

The party somebody canceled

The clothes you didn't buy

And you're talking about what?

The friends you didn't see

When sadness insists

On painting the city?

It won't help you

If the soul is small

There's no cardinal who can save

Or steal the spotlight

Blood runs through the streets

Bombs falling from the sky

From families like yours

That nobody helped

Don't listen to me

Don't follow me if you don't care

I came to kick every door open

I came to talk about genocide

About racism on the mic

Some hide behind cynicism

I blow the whistle

And I pray to God, light a candle and ask

Why did you give us the earth

If you didn't rule the world?

Why did you give us war

And the desire to want everything?

Why does the sufferer scream

And the ruler is deaf?

I hug my kids tightly tonight

I thank the peace and the food on the table

And I only think of those left with nothing

At the soup for the poor, the soup of sorrow

Don't write empathy just to show up

Being empathetic is showing up

It's hurting from seeing someone hurt

It's the wound on the other's body that keeps aching

That keeps aching

That keeps aching

That keeps aching

Silence

From silence I make a scream

And my whole body aches

Let me cry a little

Silence

From silence I make a scream

And my whole body aches

Let me cry a little
