Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the night we sang to storms
Before the peace that breaks at dawn
How did we doubt the evening sun?
We didn't know we were ready
[Refrain]
With the answers at our feet
Will the break the grounds beneath?
What if the dreams were ours to keep?
What if the silence said it?
[Instrumental]
In the night we sang to storms
Before the peace that breaks at dawn
How did we doubt the evening sun?
We didn't know we were ready
[Refrain]
With the answers at our feet
Will we break the grounds beneath?
What if the dreams were ours to keep?
What if the silence said it?
[Instrumental]
In the night we sang to storms
Before the peace that breaks at dawn
How did we doubt the evening sun?
We didn't know we were ready
[PreChorus]
With the answers at our feet (With the answers at our feet)
Will we break the grounds beneath? (Will we break the grounds beneath?)
What if the dreams were ours to keep? (What if the dreams were ours to keep?)
What if the silence said it? (What if the silence said it?)
What if the silence said it?
[Chorus]
We didn't know we were ready (We didn't know we were ready)
We didn't know we were ready
What if the silence said it? (What if the silence said it?)
What if the silence said it?
We didn't know we were ready (We didn't know we were ready)
We didn't know we were ready
What if the silence said it? (What if the silence said it?)
What if the silence said it?
We didn't know we were ready (We didn't know we were ready)
We didn't know we were ready
What if the silence said it? (What if the silence said it?)
What if the silence said it?
We didn't know we were ready (We didn't know we were ready)
We didn't know we were ready
What if the silence said it? (What if the silence said it?)
What if the silence said it?
[Outro]
We didn't know we were ready
What if the silence said it?
We didn't know we were ready
What if the silence said it?
