Break the Silence
Delirious Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Citizens with a secret in our hands
That could ignite our shadow lands
Light it up and let it go

Let it shine with love and grace and redesign
A ray of hope for the common man
Light it up and let it go
Woah, we've gotta give it away
And there's a price to pay
When we give it away

Break the silence, break the silence
Cross every boundary that divides us, divides us
Break the silence, break the silence
Cross every border that divides us, unite us
[Incomprehensible]

We turn the page to a future just begun
If heaven is real then let our heaven become
Peace on earth, let it flow

We raise our voice where the color's all but gone
Paint the world with redemption songs
Stir it up and let it flow

Woah, we've gotta give it away
And there's a price to pay
When we give it away

Break the silence, break the silence
Cross every boundary that divides us, divides us
Break the silence, break the silence
Cross every border that divides us, unite us

Break the silence, break the silence
Cross every boundary that divides us, unite us

We've gotta give it away
We've gotta give it away
We've gotta give it away, give it away

So break the silence, break the silence




Break the silence, break the silence
Cross every border that divides us, unite us
