In the heart of youth, where dreams are bright
Lies a hidden battle, out of sight
A young life, a burden too heavy to hold
A story of innocence, prematurely old
Oh, the silent cry in the dead of night
The struggle unseen, out of the light
A life within a life, too soon to start
The brutality of youth, it breaks the heart
Oh, the silent cry in the dead of night
The struggle unseen, out of the light
A life within a life, too soon to start
The brutality of youth, it breaks the heart
Choices made, in the blink of an eye
Consequences unfold, as time goes by
A future reshaped, with every tear that falls
As the weight of the world, on slender shoulders calls
Oh, the silent cry in the dead of night
The struggle unseen, out of the light
A life within a life, too soon to start
The brutality of youth, it breaks the heart
Oh, the silent cry in the dead of night
The struggle unseen, out of the light
A life within a life, too soon to start
The brutality of youth, it breaks the heart
But within the storm, there's a strength that grows
And a hope that shines, and ever glows
For every challenge faced, there's a lesson learned
And in the heart of the young, a fire burns
Oh, the silent cry in the dead of night
The struggle unseen, out of the light
A life within a life, too soon to start
The brutality of youth, it breaks the heart
Oh, the silent cry in the dead of night
The struggle unseen, out of the light
A life within a life, too soon to start
The brutality of youth, it breaks the heart
Oh, the silent cry in the dead of night
The struggle unseen, out of the light
A life within a life, too soon to start
The brutality of youth, it breaks the heart
