If silence stopped you wouldn’t hear the songs that songbirds sing
You wouldn’t hear the whooshing wind or any other thing
You wouldn’t hear the joy of love or hear the children dance
You wouldn’t hear the buzzing bee or a raindrop’s second chance
If silence stopped you wouldn’t hear the church bells as they chime
You wouldn’t hear the trumpets sound or poets when they rhyme
You wouldn’t hear the whistle blow to start the morning’s work
You wouldn’t hear the grass be cut or hear the coffee perk
If silence stopped you wouldn’t hear the waves crash on the beach
You wouldn’t hear that every day puts love within our reach
You wouldn’t hear the doe and fawn or the beauty that they give
You wouldn’t hear the gift of joy in this world that we live
If silence stopped you wouldn’t hear that peace is meant for you
You wouldn’t hear that people care or that the sky is blue
You wouldn’t hear when troubles come that they can go away
You wouldn’t hear that Heaven’s real and we don’t have to pay
If silence stopped you wouldn’t hear that people live and die
You wouldn’t hear that people laugh and sometimes people cry
You wouldn’t hear that love is real but sometimes people fall
You wouldn’t hear that we have hope and hope comes for us all
If silence stopped you wouldn’t hear the songs that songbirds sing
You wouldn’t hear the whooshing wind or any other thing
You wouldn’t hear the joy of love or hear the children dance
You wouldn’t hear the buzzing bee or a raindrops second chance
If silence stopped you wouldn’t hear that peace is meant for you
You wouldn’t hear that people care or that the sky is blue
You wouldn’t hear when troubles come that they can go away
You wouldn’t hear that Heaven’s real and we don’t have to pay
If silence stopped if silence stopped you simply wouldn’t hear
If silence stopped if silence stopped you simply wouldn’t hear
You wouldn’t hear that love is real but sometimes tears will fall
You wouldn’t hear that we have hope and hope comes for us all
