Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(And the heart speaks in whispers)
(And the heart speaks in whispers)
[Verse 2]
And so it's all over
So they've already run
And we all fall down
And the clouds, they blot out the sun
Very soon your world could be different
But you've got your mind set on silence, silence, silence, ah
[Verse 3]
The skies will break for you, my friend
The skies will break for you, my friend
The waves will part, the seas will rend
The skies will break for you, my friend
Oh, the skies will break for you, my friend
It won't be long until it ends
Singin' whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
[Verse 4]
But the heart speaks in whispers
You've got to listen
[Verse 5]
And the crowd is so loud
It feels like they'll drown you out
And the waves crash down
And there's chaos all around
Don't let your mind rest on violence, violence, violence, ah
[Verse 6]
The skies will break for you, my friend
The skies will break for you, my friend
Oh, the waves will part, the seas will rend
The skies will break for you, my friend
Oh, the skies will break for you, my friend
It won't be long until it ends
Singin' whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
[Verse 7]
'Cause the heart speaks in whispers
And the heart speaks in whispers
Oh, and the heart speaks in whispers
And the heart speaks in whispers
You've got to listen
[Verse 8]
Oh, the skies will break for you, my friend
The skies will break for you, my friend
Oh, the waves will part, the seas will rend
The skies will break for you, my friend
Oh, the skies will break for you, my friend
It won't be long until it ends
Singin' whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
[Verse 9]
Bright lights, bright lights
Streaming, we're golden
(Woah-oh-oh)
Sunlight, sunlight
Revealing, we're golden
[Verse 10]
And you will know
And you will know it
And you will know
And you will know it
And you will know
