When the World Goes Quiet

Verse 1

Curtain falls and the crowd goes home

I'm standing in a room that doesn't know my name

All the pretty faces fade to grey

And there's nobody left to entertain

Pre-Chorus

So I take off the glove

Take off the grin

And I ask myself

Where do I begin

Chorus

When the world goes quiet

When the world goes quiet

I hear a boy who's still afraid

Asking who I really am

When the world goes quiet

When the world goes quiet

I don't need a thousand hands

I just need to understand

Post-Chorus

Quiet now

Quiet now

Verse 2

Piano hums a soft and simple chord

My own reflection asks me how I've been

Every mirror in this house is honest

And the silence lets the truth come in

Pre-Chorus

So I let the music slow

Let the lights go low

And I finally know

Chorus

When the world goes quiet

When the world goes quiet

I hear a boy who's still afraid

Asking who I really am

When the world goes quiet

When the world goes quiet

I don't need a thousand hands

I just need to understand

Bridge

Fame is a loud and lovely lie

Applause can cover almost anything

But alone I find the child I used to be

Alone I find the man I want to be

Chorus

When the world goes quiet

When the world goes quiet

I hear a voice that's soft and true

Saying I am still enough

When the world goes quiet

When the world goes quiet

I let go of all the noise

And I'm at peace with who I was

Post-Chorus

Quiet now

Quiet now

Peaceful now

Peaceful now
