The Calm

Floor Jansen

Compositor: Floor Jansen / Wouter Hardy / Gordon Groothedde

When the world around us keeps on firing
But the strength to take it in is lost
And the face we show, keeps us in hiding
'Cause the truth inside's too hard to show

On and on and on

And the world around us keeps on shouting
But the will to hear its cry is lost
With our inner storm we reap the silence
'Cause the scream inside would get you crushed

Too many days behind the calm
In this deafening silence
In our heads the rage goes on and on and on
An unheard violence
Let lightning strike, set all ablaze
Crash into brighter days
Too many times behind the calm
But on and on we go

And the world around us keeps on burning
But the weight to stand our ground is lost
It's the gentle hearts that lose the fighting
'Cause the seeing ones diverse at cost

Too many days behind the calm
In this deafening silence
In our head the rage goes on and on and on
An unheard violence
Let lightning strike, set all ablaze
Crash into brighter days

Too many times behind the calm
But on and on we go
And on and on we go
Like a stranger in our own lives
And on and on we go
Ride a constant wave
And on and on we go
Born to deviate

And on and on and on and on and on and on we go!

Too many days behind the calm
In our heads the rage goes on and on and on
An unheard violence
Let lightning strike, set all ablaze
Crash into brighter days
Too many times behind the calm
But on and on we go
