We're born into silence
And let it all be
Lift your anchor
And just float astray
Born into silence
And let it all be
Fortune in silence

Watch it explode
While fragments of irony's examples fly
And hit the shore
And tyranny's torn
From the podiums where leaders stand
But rule no more

Plead with nothing
Why don't we lecture about something
Protest the way
We're passive today

Watch it explode
While it's not impossible for flowers to bloom and grow
Next to graves
And babies are born
In the same buildings where people go
To pass away
Pass away

Plead with nothing
Why don't we lecture about something
Protest the way
We're passive today

We live like penguins in the desert
Why can't we live like tribes

Born into silence
And let it all be
Lift your anchor
And just float astray
Born into silence
And let it all be
Fortune in silence
