[Intro E-Guitar-Riffs] [Verse 1:] In a world of quiet nights, where dreams once took flight, A single pill, a name: Contergan, brought endless plight. Voices lost in shadows, footsteps in the rain, Living in a melody of never-ending pain. [Pre-Chorus] Broken hands reach for the sky, A question unanswered: Why? But even in the silence, there’s strength to rise, A symphony within their eyes. [retrograde:] [Chorus] Echoes without sound, in a world too loud, Hearts beat strong, though the silence shrouds. Through broken wings, they learn to soar, Speaking with their souls, needing words no more. [Intro E-Guitar-Riffs] [Verse 2] Born of Contergan’s silent harm, A stillness carried in fragile arms. Legs unformed, arms unseen, hearts still alive, Through the pain, they’ve found a way to thrive. [Pre-Chorus] Through the silence, they build their song, Where they’ve been weak, they’ve grown so strong. Each scar a note, each tear a line, Their lives a hymn that transcends time. [ [Keyboard Solo] [Final Chorus] Echoes without sound, rising from the ground, Resilience in silence, harmony profound. Through unseen battles, they stand tall, Speaking in their silence, they speak for us all. [Outro] So here’s their song, a quiet flame, A story of courage, without blame. For even in a world that doesn’t hear, Their voices whisper loud and clear. Dedicated to my friend Karl, the Deafd Who passed away one Christmas Eve year 2022] [final out] [end] [end]
