Adam Lambert – Quiet Desperation

Låttext / Lyrics

Quietly we’re taught to listen and resign
Quite desperation is our birthright yours and mine
And quietly the voice of expectation drowns the dream
And quiet desperation chokes our soul, so we can’t scream
Till we’re tearing at the seam, waiting

Quietly we learn that life is just not fair
Quiet desperation turns to silence and despair
And quietly we ask ourselves how could he choose that way
While quiet desperation draws us further everyday
From the things we want to say
And were waiting for a voice
Waiting for the voice to call us home to your embrace
And it doesn’t take an angel or some ministers of grace
All it takes is someone who is saying
‘I hear you. I am here. I am here.”

Something else is said, and the phone goes dead
Quietly it ends before it gets to start
Quietly the center fails and things all fall apart
And quietly we hide our guilt each twinge and every bang
And your life ends with a will but not a bang
And quietly we ask what songs we might have sung?

Waiting for the voice to call us home to your embrace
And it doesn’t take an angel or some ministers of grace
All it takes is someone who is saying
“I’m sorry Malcolm.”
