this silence is so loud
as you walk alone
you're a long way from home
in a crowd with no one known
turn music on
I’ll swing and dance
like a genie from its bottle
I’ll flow out of the speakers
and you'll find my company there
so we'll never part
you'll meet a lot of new faces
look for my traits in them
to make them feel familiar
you've never been this far away
I thought I heard your voice today
and my eyes began to weep
I took that time for granted
for that I apologize
but little sister
I’ve never been this proud
so remember the times I held your hand
just to cross the street
and when you drift to sleep
you'll feel comfort
even if we're this far apart
I’ll keep you safe
