CHORUS 1:
Silent tears are falling,
Spilling from their eyes.
Can you hear them calling?
Screaming from inside.

She seems so happy and full of life,
When you see her at school.
Always smiling, always laughing,
She is such a jewel.
But what you see on the outside
Cannot begin to explain,
The inner wars that are raging,
Causing much hurt and pain.
As her walls come crashing down,
She tries to find a way out.
Can she make it through one more day?
She is filled with doubt.

CHORUS 2:
Silent tears are falling,
Spilling from her eyes.
Can you hear her calling?
Screaming from inside.

Everyday he walks into school
With his head hanging low.
He doesn't dare look up
Afraid to let his home life show.
People ask questions,
He makes excuses.
Not wanting them to know
The origin of the cuts and bruises.
Every night he huddles behind the couch,
Fear pulsing through every vein.
He doesn't move or make a sound
Because that would be insane.

CHORUS 3:
Silent tears are falling,
Spilling from his eyes.
Can you hear him calling?
Screaming from inside.

Everyday they go to school,
Wearing the same old clothes.
Not sulking in the sadness
Of a life they never chose.
People point,
They keep on walking.
People whisper,
To them it's just talking.
Underneath baggy clothes,
They are as frail as can be.
Undernourished, underdeveloped.
Skin and bones is all that you see.

CHORUS 1:
Silent tears are falling,
Spilling from their eyes.
Can you hear them calling?
Screaming from inside. ©
