The sound of silence

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence


-Simon & Garfunkel

Let it Be

When i find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me speaking words of wisdom, let it be, and in my hour of darkness she is standind right in front of me, speaking words of wisdom let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree there wiil be an answer, let it be.For thougn they may be parted there is still a chance that they wiil see, there wiil be answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy there is still a light, that shines on me, shine untill tomorrow, let it be. I wake up to to the sound of music Mary comes to me speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be
