Color Of Sound

If silence is golden, what color is sound?
And the love we don’t hold in plants a seed in the ground
Every thought that is spoken, every face in the crowd
Every heart that’s been broken bleeds the color of sound

If silence is golden, what color is sound?
New beginnings unfolding when the end comes around
Every road that leads nowhere, every road that’s homebound
Every wind that is blowing breathes the color of sound

Listen
Here comes that silence again
Listen
The golden nothing

All the world is God’s portrait
It was painted out loud
Every heart that is golden
Beats the color of sound

Listen
Here comes that silence again
Listen
The golden nothing

If silence is golden, what color is sound?
All the love we don’t hold in plants a seed in the ground
It grows into a tree and falls when no one’s around
Any eye that is open
Can see the color of sound
Any eye that is open
Can see the color of sound
