– Simon & Garfunkel

Hello darkness
my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision
softly creeping
Left its seeds
while I was sleeping
And the vision that
was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar
to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed
by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs
that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb
the sound of silence

“Fools”, said I,
“You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that
I might teach you
Take my arms that
I might reach you”
But my words,
like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god
they made
And the sign flashed
out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said,
“The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls”
And whispered
in the sounds of silence
