Silent Legacy Lyrics

	作曲 : Melissa Etheridge
	作词 : Etheridge
	Why did you steal the matches
	From the one room motel
	Once they gave you answers
	Now they give you hell
	They will never understand
	They wonder where did they go wrong
	How could you be so selfish
	Why can't you get along
	And as you pray in your darkness
	For wings to set you free
	You are bound to your silent legacy
	You've seen it in the movies
	And you've heard it on the street
	Craving the affection
	Your blood is full of heat
	They don't listen to your reasons
	As original as sin
	Deny all that you feel
	And they will bring you home again
	And as you pray in your darkness
	For wings to set you free
	You are bound to your silent legacy
	Your body is alive
	But no one told you what you'd feel
	The empty aching hours
	Trying to conceal
	The natural progression
	Is the coming of your age
	But they cover it with shame
	And turn it into rage
	And as you pray in your darkness
	For wings to set you free
	You are bound to your silent legacy
	You are digging for the answers
	Until your fingers bleed
	To satisfy the hunger
	To satiate the need
	They feed you on the guilt
	To keep you humble keep you low
	Some man and myth they made up
	A thousand years ago
	And as you pray in your darkness
	For wings to set you free
	You are bound to your silent legacy
	Mothers tell your children
	Be quick you must be strong
	Life is full of wonder
	Love is never wrong
	Remember how they taught you
	How much of it was fear
	Refuse to hand it down
	The legacy stops here
	Oh my child
