Sing Into the Silence

A name may outlive its owner, but the person behind it will eventually disappear. We spend our lives chasing a happiness that always seems to lie somewhere ahead. If every memory fades and every song falls silent, what are we living for? And why do we keep singing? 名前は残っても、その人がどんな人生を生きたのかは、いつか誰にも分からなくなる。幸せになるために生きているはずなのに、その幸せはいつも少し先にある。すべての記憶が薄れ、最後の歌声まで消えてしまうのなら、私たちは何のために生きているのだろう。それでも、なぜ歌い続けるのだろう。 Lyrics: [Verse 1] A photograph fell from a book A woman laughing by the sea The date survives upon the back The name is lost to history Did she sing softly to her child? Did someone hold her through the night? Who kept her stories when they died? Who kept the tune when they fell quiet? [Pre-Chorus] We teach our children how to sing They teach the children after them But someday there may be no child To lift that tune and sing again [Chorus] Sing, sing into the silence Beat the drum against the years Sing, sing into the silence Who will know that we were here? We saved our joy for better days And lost the hours we meant to save Sing, sing into the silence We're here before we're gone [Post-Chorus] Who's left? Who's left to call our name? The living, till they leave the stage Who's left? Who's left to sing it through? Tonight, tonight, it's me and you [Verse 2] His name still crowns the city gate The letters shine through years of rain A hundred books recall his wars Not one can tell us of his shame Did he go home and kiss his child? Or count the names of those who died? The story tells us where he stood But not the truth he kept inside [Pre-Chorus] Each witness passes down a tale Each teller leaves a little out At last a stranger reads his name And calls a guess the final truth [Chorus] Sing, sing into the silence Beat the drum against the years Sing, sing into the silence Who will know that we were here? We saved our joy for better days And lost the hours we meant to save Sing, sing into the silence We're here before we're gone [Bridge] I only wanted time to laugh To dance before the music ends I worked to buy a brighter day And spent the hours I meant to spend I cannot say the pain was fair Or prove what any moment means But when you offer me your hand I take it, and begin to sing [Final Chorus] Sing, sing into the silence Beat the drum against the years Sing, sing into the silence Who will know that we were here? I cannot make the music stay But I can hear your voice today Sing, sing into the silence We're here before we're gone [Outro] I put her picture in the book And take your hand into the rain No one can tell me who she was But you still know me by my name #OrchestralPop #CinematicMusic #OriginalMusic
