midnight, you carry the pain
softly, she whispers, "it's starting again . . . "
thunder and lightning are driving the rain
walk to the window and whisper his name

but he don't make a sound
he watches as his mighty brother gathers 'round
he won't make a sound
the thunder breaks the sky and the silence of the town
he don't make a sound
in the fear that led them here and the child that they've crowned
he don't make a sound
the sky is falling in and is driven to the ground
people gather 'round
watch as his mighty brothers gather 'round
he don't make a sound
the stars that would console him burn into the ground

midnight, and I watch you sleep
you gave me your heart to keep
I hear the thunder, I hear and I speak
you're the most beautiful I've ever seen

but you don't make a sound
a thousand suns ignite, a thousand days abound
my angel in the clouds
the world will come to peace, I'm at peace with what I've found
we don't make a sound
let the weight of the world bring some other shoulders down
caught in your eyes I drown
the world is at your feet but you don't make a sound
shades of grey surround
watch as your mighty brothers gather 'round
time slows down
and I am standing, caught here in your . . .

[you're] my blue eyes
blue eyes . . . on a cloudy day
my blue eyes
blue eyes . . . on a cloudy day

all the storms surround
close your eyes our ship has run aground
I follow what I've found
a glance from the king brings a silence to the town
he don't make a sound
watch as your mighty brothers gather round
heaven and earth unwound
but he don't make a sound
