Song Lyrics


The Silent One
by Pete Carlson

Album: Off The Beaten Path


Pardon my way
If I'm saddened today
But a friend of mine left me forever
I'd normally be glad
Had he'd known what I have
But I never thought twice to tell him

Who would've guessed
It would come this soon
I'd always tell him tomorrow
And though all my tears
Can't bring him back here
I long for one more chance to tell him

It came suddenly
A young twenty-three
They say that he died calling for me
If only I'd been
A concerned, loving friend
My faith wouldn't be hiding in me

But I chose to be the silent one
Failed in my one obligation
Water was there for his dry thirsty soul
But I let it just slip through my fingers

Excuses are few
When the Lord questions you
And asks if your friends know about Him
'Cause they are the ones
He's chosen to tell through you
Don't you be the silent one
