She prayed for peace
I prayed for proof
But all that came
Was silence too

I watched her build her crown of glass
Said nothing as the sunlight passed
It looked too bright to be a lie
But every truth she touched would die

I've seen the hands that bless and take
Turn bread to dust, then call it faith
They smile so warm
They speak so sweet
While burning names beneath their feet

And I still hear her voice
A quiet choice
That never fades

I kept my mouth
Behind my fear
The quiet man
No one can hear

Maybe silence is my sin
Maybe I just fit right in
Every saint begins to fade
When mercy turns to trade

Maybe silence is my sin
Maybe I let her win
All her love was just parade
And I forgot to walk away
