Silent Legacy - Melissa Etheridge (玛丽萨·艾瑟里奇)[00:00:00]

Written by：Melissa Etheridge[00:00:00]

Why did you steal the matches[00:00:09]

From the one room motel[00:00:11]

Once they gave you answers[00:00:14]

Now they give you hell[00:00:16]

They will never understand[00:00:18]

They wonder where did they go wrong[00:00:20]

How could you be so selfish[00:00:23]

Why can't you get along[00:00:25]

And as you pray[00:00:27]

In your darkness[00:00:29]

For wings to set you free[00:00:32]

You are bound[00:00:36]

To your silent[00:00:39]

Legacy[00:00:41]

You've seen it in the movies[00:00:50]

And you've heard it on the street[00:00:52]

Craving the affection[00:00:54]

Your blood is full of heat[00:00:57]

They don't listen to your reasons[00:00:59]

As original as sin[00:01:01]

Deny all that you feel[00:01:03]

And they will bring you home again[00:01:05]

And as you pray[00:01:07]

In your darkness[00:01:10]

For wings to set you free[00:01:12]

You are bound[00:01:16]

To your silent[00:01:19]

Legacy[00:01:21]

Your body is alive[00:01:30]

But no one told you what you'd feel[00:01:32]

The empty aching hours[00:01:34]

Trying to conceal[00:01:37]

The natural progression[00:01:39]

Is the coming of your age[00:01:41]

But they cover it with shame[00:01:43]

And turn it into rage[00:01:45]

And as you pray[00:01:47]

In your darkness[00:01:49]

For wings to set you free[00:01:52]

You are bound[00:01:56]

To your silent[00:01:58]

Legacy[00:02:01]

You are digging for the answers[00:02:09]

Until your fingers bleed[00:02:12]

To satisfy the hunger[00:02:14]

To satiate the need[00:02:16]

They feed you on the guilt[00:02:18]

To keep you humble keep you low[00:02:20]

Some man and myth they made up[00:02:23]

A thousand years ago[00:02:24]

And as you pray[00:02:26]

In your darkness[00:02:29]

For wings to set you free[00:02:31]

You are bound[00:02:35]

To your silent[00:02:37]

Legacy[00:02:39]

Mothers tell your children[00:02:57]

Be quick you must be strong[00:02:59]

Life is full of wonder[00:03:01]

Love is never wrong[00:03:03]

Remember how they taught you[00:03:06]

How much of it was fear[00:03:08]

Refuse to hand it down[00:03:10]

The legacy[00:03:12]

Stops here[00:03:14]

Oh my child[00:03:53]

Oh my child[00:03:58]

Oh my child[00:04:15]
