There's a truth that is lost In the noise life compels That all that we are Without love are silent bells And where do prayers go If the heart never tells? Is all that we are Without love, silent bells? How does it feel Made of fire and steel Never allowed to ring You know that it's wrong When the soul has a song It never gets to sing So every child knows That the sea heard in shells Says all that we are Without love, silent bells How does it feel Made of fire and steel And never allowed to ring You know that it's wrong When the soul has a song It never gets to sing Without new hellos There are no fare-thee-wells Then all that we are Without love are silent bells All that we are Without love, silent bells
