When Silence Becomes Beautiful (Spoken Word)
I didn’t always find you beautiful
That’s not the relationship that I wanted
The idea of being confronted by those things that keep me haunted
All that I know is I really don’t want it
I’d rather have gin and tonic
I’d rather have sin and flaunt it
I’d rather have them electronics
Tell me, where is the beauty of silence?
When I can watch violence
And travel to islands
And focus all my time on making thousands
And thousands and
And thousands turn to millions
In big tall buildings. Sky scrapers
If we build it high enough, maybe we can touch God
I’m just babbling
I know the Truth pierces deep like a javelin
So, I’ll just bath in these comfortable lies and I’m lathering
The time of my life. That’s what I’m having and
It’s all good as long as the noise keep travelling
The city never sleeps
The prince and power of the air
You breathe his message in deep and never have a care
They say ignorance is bliss, so I’m purposely unaware
That we’re all going to meet God and I may not be prepared
I didn’t always find you beautiful
But then one day it hit me
And brought me to my knees like a shot to the kidneys
That all the Whitney’s, Tiffany’s, and Sydney’s
Could never really get me
And the rest is history
But like I told them I gotta tell you that
It’s not you, but it’s …me
But this time I really mean it
You were always beautiful, but it was me who was ugly
It was me wrestling with those who didn’t hug me
It was me who was scared to find a name that was above me
I was scared of the Light that would expose me and judge me
So, I loved noise noise noise
Surrounded by friends and hanging with the boys
Till the noise began to consume me and I had to make a choice
To finally quiet down and learn that still small voice
And what I discovered is hard to explain
The beauty of learning that there’s more grace than shame
There’s more mercy than there is blame
There’s more excitement in serving you than trying to gain fame
And the best feeling in the world is the fact that you know my name
Being in Your presence causes me to be changed
And my ugly has turned to beauty and my life’s been rearranged.
That's when silence becomes beautiful.
