There ' s a truth that is lost

In the noise life compels

That all that we are

Without love are silent bells

And where do prayers go

If the heart never tells

Is all that we are

Without love silent bells

How does it feel

Made of fire and steel

Never allowed to ring

You know that it ' s wrong

When the soul has a song

It never gets to sing

So every child knows

That the sea heard in shells

Says all that we are

Without love silent bells

How does it feel

Made of fire and steel

And never allowed to ring

You know that it ' s wrong

When the soul has a song

It never gets to sing

Without new hellos

There are no fare-thee-wells

Then all that we are

Without love are silent bells

All that we are

Without love silent bells
