Story Behind The Song

This was a wedding gift for my brother Chris and his wife Vicki. The concept of bringing something from silence into light belongs to the architect Louis Kahn.

Lyrics

Silence Into Light

Well I know the wind can?t
Blow the stars from the sky
And you can still see the sun
When you close your eyes
A heart can change and still remain the same
And what you?ve known all your life
Can still surprise you
When love comes from silence into light

Into light, into light
The sun comes up, and the bird takes flight
And the bell rings true,
And the joints fit tight
When love comes from silence into light

There are secrets in the wind
And the way love begins
That are hidden from the naked eye
It?s the thrill of the spin
And the warmth of the skin
That unveil what was covered up inside
When love comes from silence into light

Into light, into light
The comforter?s dark, and the sheets are white
And the shadows reveal
What the noise disguises
When love comes from silence into light

Have the day wake up the night
and not be frightened
With smiles like these
How can the darkness not be brightened
Throw the covers back and dive right in!
Hear the wind, hear the wind

Hear the wind and rain
Feel the nap and the grain
See the change
As the mystery illuminates the plain
Is it time to begin?
Take my hand, lift your chin
Kiss my grin, it?s alright
Love comes from silence into light

Into light, into light
You can answer the wind
And startle the night, oh
Amaze the sun and surprise the heights!
When love comes from silence into light
