Sound Barrier

Are you listening, can you hear them?
 In the silence low, can you hear them?
 It's just a sound that was created, in a place that's been sedated
 In a life that's been frustrated, in a need that's left unsated
 It's a scream that has been stifled, someone's life that has been rifled
 Not of the few but of the multitude, born hard and raised in the necessitude
 Are you listening, can you hear them?
 In the silence low, can you hear them?
 It's the silent sound of anger, it's the silent sound of rage
 It's the spirits cry for freedom, from their story in a cage
 Where so much is left unspoken and by that very same token
 Hearts and backs are broken 'cos so much is left unspoken
 Are you listening, can you hear them?
 In the silence low, can you hear them?
 What would make him do it, has he no way to see through it?
 Through the sound that's been created, in a life that's been frustrated
 Are you listening, can you hear them?
 In the silence low, can you hear them?
 Are you listening, can you hear them?
 In the silence low, can you hear them?
