 Want to sing-a-long? Well you can! Please find below the lyrics to Silent storm

Head to toes
Flesh and bones
Should feel whole
But the void
A silent storm

I’m here to use my heart and my hands
Somehow the bruises changed my plans

And there’s a silent storm inside me
Looking for a home
I hope that someone’s gonna find me
And say that I belong
I‘ll wait forever and a lifetime
To find I’m not alone
There’s a silent storm inside me
Someday I’ll be calm

Ask myself
What comes next
Will I fly?
Will I fall?
My silent storm

I’m here to use my heart and my hands
Somehow the bruises changed my plans

And there’s a silent storm inside me
Looking for a home
I hope that someone’s gonna find me
And say that I belong
I’ll wait forever and a lifetime
To find I’m not alone
There’s a silent storm inside me
Someday I’ll be calm
