This is a song dedicated to all my friends as we leave middle school. I love all you guys! :) <br /> <br />Tell me, how can a light <br />that shines so bright <br />be put out with the lightest touch? <br />and how can a soul <br />that's heard rock and roll <br />love this kind of silence this much? <br /> <br />but you say, listen, <br />to the beautiful quiet <br />I can hear my heart wishing on a star <br />you say, listen, <br />to the beautiful quiet <br />please let me be <br />wherever you are <br /> <br />tell me, how can a home <br />allow me to roam <br />but still keep the things that I know? <br />and how can my friends <br />say love never ends <br />and then turn around to go? <br /> <br />but you say, listen, <br />to the beautiful quiet <br />I can hear my heart wishing on a star <br />you say, listen, <br />to the beautiful quiet <br />please let me be <br />wherever you are <br /> <br />we're all going our separate ways <br />I can't help being afraid of what's in store <br />but you know I'm here for you <br />so take my hand and let's go through that open door <br /> <br />listen <br />to the beautiful quiet <br />where this road ends, another will start <br />listen <br />to the beautiful quiet <br />we'll never really be apart <br /> <br />as I say, listen, <br />to the beautiful quiet <br />I can hear my heart wishing on a star <br />we both say, listen, <br />to the beautiful quiet <br />please let me be <br />wherever you are.<br /><br />Jade Leven<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beautiful-quiet/
