Verse 1
The musicians in the symphony play
You can hear the drum beats as they
Echo, echo, echo, fade away
All you can hear now are the footsteps,
As the soloist steps off the stage
Hear them echo, echo, echo, fade away
Listen to the silence, lift up your hands.
Can’t you feel the silence? It’s calling you in.
Chorus
I need an inspiration,
Give me a doubtless reason
Show me there’s more to the seasons,
Than just sun, wind, snow, and rain.
I need an inspiration.
Verse 2
It’s the concertmaster’s turn to begin,
You can hear the violins play a
Canon, canon, meant to draw you in
No one makes a motion
No one is quite convinced
They are searching, searching, for the excitement within
Listen to the silence, lift up your hands.
Can’t you feel the silence? It’s calling you in.
Chorus
I need an inspiration,
Give me a doubtless reason
Show me there’s more to the seasons,
Than just sun, wind, snow, and rain.
I need an inspiration.
Verse 3
And the voices they refuse to proceed
They don’t want to share the glory and
Honour, honour, their lives are not mundane.
There is nobody left in the spotlight,
You can see them back into the shade
Just a shadow, shadow, shadow, turned to grey.
Listen to the silence, lift up your hands.
Can’t you feel the silence? It’s calling you in.
Chorus
I need an inspiration,
Give me a doubtless reason
Show me there more to the seasons,
Than just sun, wind, snow, and rain. X2
I need an inspiration.
