The Voice Of The Silent Chords by Redeemed Quartet

[C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
He's looking out the window, [Dm] the tears run [F] down his face.
[G] He's trying to remember _ [C] the things he'd like to say. _
The jokes he used to tell them, [Dm] the tales he used to spin.
[G] He longs for just a moment _ to tell them [C] once again. _
_ _ _ He lost his voice last summer, [F] now sitting _ in this chair.
[G] He's handing out a [C] smile, he only gets to stay.
The lessons he could teach them, [F] they'll never _ hear him say.
_ [G] If only he could show them the way to [C] live today. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ He'd love [Gm] to _ _ [C] say it, but [F] he _ _ _ never got [C] the chance. _ _ _ _
The _ world _ _ all [Bb] _ around _ [C] _ _ _
[F] wouldn't _ _ _ give a [C] second _ _ glance. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ Behind the [C] silence, _ there's [F] a _ _ _ _ beating heart, [C] it's true. _ _ _ _
[G] The voice of the silent _ is calling out [C] to you. _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
Her _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ tiny _ little eyes [C] are grinning up at me.
[D] Her hand around my finger, _ [G] she's alive and she can breathe.
_ But in a darkened alley, [C] an unborn baby's cry
[D] is _ smothered as a mother _ signs away her [G] child's life. _ _ _ _
A million _ little voices _ [C] that you may never _ _ hear.
[D] A million precious _ heartbeats, [G] does anybody _ _ care?
So many _ take advantage [Am] of children in this [Em] land. _
[D] Behind the awful _ silence, will no one take [G] a _ stand?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ They [F] would _ tell [G] you, but [C] they _ _ _ never got [G] the _ _ chance.
_ _ The _ world _ _ _ _ [F] all around _
[G] _ _ _ [C] wouldn't _ _ _ give a [G] second _ _ _ glance. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ Behind the [G] silence _ was [C] a _ _ _ heartbeat, there's [G] no _ doubt.
_ _ _ [D] The voice of the silent _ too long has been [G] shut _ out. _ _ _
The old _ _ _ and [F] the _ _ [G] young, _ _ [C] we tossed _ _ them [G] both _ _ away.
_ _ We're _ _ _ _ _ _ killing [F] _ _ _ [G] tomorrow, _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ neglecting _
[G] yesterday. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Who [F] will stand _ [G] _ up [C] if _ you _ _ [G] never do? _ _ _ _ _
[D] The voice of the silent _ is calling out [G] to _ you.
_ _ _ [D] The voice of the silent _ [C] is _ _ [Cm] calling _ out [G] to you. _
