The telephone ringing sends echoes through the night
A faceless voice brings news that don’t feel right
Your momma and your papa ain’t comin’ home tonight
In the silence a young boy sits and wonders why
He knows nothing can bring them back to life
They never said this world was fair or kind
But he knows things can be better than they seem
In the silence a young boy sits and starts to dream
Just like the wolves cry in the night, singing songs that never die
Though all that’s listening is the moon
Though their presence may be gone, their hopes and dreams live on
In you
So he’s packing his bags and he’s heading to the west
Where promises call with hope for what comes next
Yes he’s payin’ his dues, prayin’ he’ll make it through
In the silence a young man suits up and salutes
Just like the wolves cry in the night, singing songs that never die
Though all that’s listening is the moon
Though their presence may be gone, their hopes and dreams live on
In you
The sun sets low upon the mountain side
As young kids run wild into the night
A job well done, sir, you know what’s next
In the silence an old man lays down to rest
