In the silent pain of the night,
I find that I?m not alone,
so many others know the words,
but have yet to show their hearts,

I know life?s full of mistakes,
but how do I tell them this,
I know that life is twisting,
turning, thriving, but how do you

stop it from killing,
and as the tears come,
tears of pain, of joy,
of love, so close, so far.

All I think is how time slips by,
how people change so quickly,
and how I wish it would be,
more still, stable and silent for the sullen,

Instead of this other one,
that is only interested in...
and I let go, and I am free,
for the moment, I am me.

And I sing in my heart,
oh wonderful world,
do you see this, my words,
thoughts, feelings, my soul.

James O. Stewart
