Out Of The Silence (came A Song) Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

Silence was around me as I walked along my mind was so troubled I felt so alone 

I had no desire to live I had not a will to go home 

Then out of the silence came a song 

The words were sharp and they cut deep into my troubled mind 

The melody was pursy as it tore into this heart of mine 

You have the legs to walk along while others are all lamed 

You have a mind to think with while others are insane 

You live while others dying and yet no thanks're shown 

Out of the silence came this song 

Then I saw a vision of myself my legs were bent and lame 

Not only was I crippled but I couldn't speak my name 

And then I saw a graveyard with my own funeral going on 

Then out of the silence came a song 

You have the legs to walk along while others are all lamed 

You have a mind to think with so why should you complain 

You live while others die and yet no thanks're shown out of the silence came this song 

Out of the silence came a song
