Lyrics to “In the Silence” by Jack Fowler —
“In the silence, there is peace. In the silence, there is unspoken joy.
In the silence, there’s release from a world full of chaos and noise.
So I wait for these precious moments when I hear all that could never be said.
And right here, in this holy silence, I find God, I find myself.”
