DESCRIPTION:
Don't Say a Word

Quick to listen
Slow to speak
Slap your face
You turn your cheek
Take up that cross and carry it on your shoulders

Maybe they did you wrong
Maybe they silenced your song
Maybe you find it's a long time coming to set things right

But you don't say a word
You're dying, but you hide
It's a false peace you're brokering
While the war rages on inside

Bite your tongue
Smile and sway
They walk in
You look away
Every wound still open from all those long gone days

You gotta let it out
Or you gotta let it go
You're the only wounded soldier
And you make sure nobody knows
