Silence Lyrics by Joy Williams

Genesis

2005

[Verse 1]
Are you listening
To anything that I say?
'Cause I've been praying
How many prayers can I pray?
I'm still waiting
Maybe you'll show up today

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you're here, but I can't feel you
And if you're speaking, I can't hear you
How much longer will this last?

[Chorus]
So okay
Answer me with silence
It's okay if you don't say a word
You're testing me to trust you'll be faithful in this quiet
So okay
Answer me
With silence

[Verse 2]
Why do I question
Your intentions for me
When your affection
Is a proven legacy?
Oh Father, Father
Turn my fears into peace
I know your love will never leave
I know you want what's best for me

[Chorus]
So okay
Answer me with silence
It's okay if you don't say a word
You're testing me to trust you'll be faithful in this quiet
So okay
Answer me
With silence

[Bridge]
It's okay
It's okay
It's okay
You're testing me to trust you'll be faithful in this quiet

[Chorus]
Oh, it's ok
Answer me
If you answer me with silence
And it's okay if you don't say a word
You're testing me to trust you'll be faithful in this quiet
So okay
Answer me
With silence
With silence

[Bridge 2]
Without a word
Oh, oh, oh, it's ok
Answer me
With silence
You're testing me
Ohh, my love
Ohh, answer me with silence

[Outro]
It's ok
It's ok
Oh, it's ok
It's ok
