I've never been the one to shout because I listen
I don't like to raise my voice
Maybe I should learn to lose my inhibitions
Let my feelings make some noise
You don't know what I'm going through
When silence is all I give to you
Please hear me if you're out there
Take these words and try to understand
That I want you and I need you
To take the hand of a quiet man
And I love the way you hear the words unspoken
It's like you read between the minds
You know before the silence has been broken
Well, at least most of the time
But I don't know what I'm going through
I don't know what you're going through
It must be something I didn't say to you
Hear me if you're out there
Take these words and try to understand
That I want you and I need you
And I need you to take the hand
Of a quiet man
piano plays softly
piano plays softly
piano plays softly
Hear me, if you're out there
Take these words now and try, try to understand
That I want you and I need you
To take the hand of a quiet man
To take the hand of a quiet man
