The Answer

Under the stars that twinkle
in the midnight sky
I lay down on the earth
and I wonder how
does a baby feel inside the mother womb
does my grandpa feel inside his tomb

And the answer I came here for
is the silence all around me
yeah, the answer I came here for
is the silence all around me
yeah, the answer is the silence

Out in the pouring rain
I’m walking down the street
looking for a place to hide
longing for relief
one million questions pairing
in my aching head
the same old questions about
love and hate and birth and death

And the answer I came here for
is the silence all around me
yeah, the answer I came here for
is the silence all around me
yeah, the answer is the silence

Beside my little sister
I lay down in the grass
talking bout the times to come
talking bout the past
it makes me sad to see
that we are doomed to fade
but little sister turns it
all the other way

And the answer that she gives me
is her heartbeat through the silence
yeah the answer that she gives me
is her heartbeat through the silence
yes the answer is her heartbeat
I can feel her heart beat
feel her heart beat
