They took away my slence Lord
they robbed me of Your peace
they hammered with their drills Lord
the noise it never ceased.
the laundrymat's dryers blew Lord
they blew away my peace
now I play White Noise Lord
the humming never ceased.
they took away my light Lord
they beat me with their lies
but You gave me back my peace Lord
a peace no money buys.
You showed me Lord my sin Lord
You said it loud and clear
You do not like the light my child
although I am very near.
I didn't love the light Lord
I didn't love your love
and so in darkness I lived Lord
it fitted like a glove
until one day you tore it off
amidst my heavy sighs
and then I saw the light Lord
a Light that never dies.
