I’ve never been the one to shout because I listen
I don’t like to raise my voice
And maybe I should learn to lose my inhibition
And let my feelings make some noise
‘Cause you don’t know
What I’m going through
When silence is all I give to you
So hear me
If you’re out there
Take these words and try to understand
That I want you,
And I need you, to take the hand
Of a quiet man
I love the way you hear the words unspoken
It’s like you read between the minds
You know before the silence has been broken
Well, at least most of the time
But I don’t know
What you’re going through
It must be something
I didn’t say to you
So hear me
If you’re out there
Take these words and try to understand
That I want you,
and I need you, to take the hand
Of a quiet man
Of a quiet man
So hear me,
If you’re out there
Take these words and try to understand
That I want you,
And I need you, to take the hand
Of a quiet man
Of a quiet man
Of a quiet man
Of a quiet man
