Lyrics 38 Special – Shatter The Silence

You better run, here comes your mama
Her eyes see red this time
You should be workin’ boy, instead of daydreamin’
She says that you’re a bad one

1st Chorus
He’ll Shatter the Silence with every beat of his heart
The best kept secrets never stay in the dark
Defiance only makes him strong
The child grows up, he ain’t silent for long…….not for long

Your daddy tried to buy your silence
His eyes seemed to hold a threat
He’d blame all your bruises on rough games in the schoolyard
The strike of his hand upon you
was all the attention that you could get
Soon you would push your luck just to get all you needed
…….’Til now all the shame remained unspoken
…..But watch how the children rise….once their eyes are opened

2nd Chorus
They’ll Shatter the Silence, now it’s their turn to tell
It’s a long way from Heaven when you’re livin’ in Hell
Defiance…It’s time to even the score
The child grows up, he ain’t silent no more
The Silence….Now it’s time to be heard
It’s hard stayin’ quiet when you can’t breathe a word
Silence…It’s a two-edge sword
The child grows, he ain’t silent no more…..

They’ll Shatter the the Silence…
Shatter the Silence….(silent no more)
They’ll Shatter the Silence……
