Lonely are the free 'Cause there ain't that many of them They don't walk like you and me
They just tumble in the breeze Lighter than a feather All together, separately
That's how it's s'posed to be No matter where they wander From post to in between, From here to over yonder, There's no place for them to land Lonely are the free
The silent are the strong Not so much as a whisper Tells you anything is wrong
You've known all along, But you can't help but listen And now the moment's gone.
It keeps you hanging on Until the stillness signaling The breaking of the dawn, Is shattered by the sirens Singing sacrificial songs
The silent are the strong.
That's all they used to see A violent shadow passing 'cross The sun so fleetingly That if you have to ask you miss it Anyway you see Lonely are the free Lonely are the free
