Souls Without Words

Verse 1

Why is it I know each heart,

Without a word, right from the start?

I read their souls in quiet eyes,

In every step and without lies.

I know their moods, each little way,

The gentle truth their hearts display.

No hidden masks, no cruel disguise,

Just simple love in trusting eyes.

Chorus

I don’t need words to feel them near,

Their silent love is bright and clear.

A dog, a cat, my world, my home,

With them beside me, I’m not alone.

They lean on me, I lean on them,

Through every night and day again.

And in their eyes I always find

A peace too rare in humankind.

Verse 2

They’ve grown so deeply in my heart,

More precious than the world can chart.

My quiet shadows through the days,

My faithful family in gentle ways.

They never fake, they never hide,

No twisted games, no lies inside.

And I could never leave them lost,

Their paw prints in my heart are embossed.

Chorus

I don’t need words to feel them near,

Their silent love is bright and clear.

A dog, a cat, my world, my home,

With them beside me, I’m not alone.

They lean on me, I lean on them,

Through every night and day again.

And in their eyes I always find

A peace too rare in humankind.

Verse 3

People speak in endless shades,

Too complicated, full of charades.

But animals are fragile truth,

A steady light, a tender proof.

One look was all it took to see,

The lonely dog behind the gate,

One fleeting glance, the little cat,

And suddenly my heart melt.

Outro

They were in shelters, small and scared,

Among the cages cold and bare,

They found a home inside my soul,

Before I held them, made them whole.

(Final Chorus)

I don’t need words to feel them near,

Their silent love is bright and clear.

A dog, a cat, my world, my home,

With them beside me, I’m not alone.

They lean on me, I lean on them,

Through every sorrow life may send.

And when this world grows hard to bear,

Their quiet love is always there.

Bridge

Bells of evening call them home,

Through ancient fields where shadows roam,

A chant that rises, soft and slow,

The truest love I'll ever know.

Like stone and spire against the sky,

Their faith in me will never die,

A prayer I whisper, small and true,

To every heart that pulls me through.

Chorus

They know my sorrow, know my fear,

Their gentle presence makes it clear.

A dog, a cat, my world, my home,

With them beside me, I'm not alone.

They lean on me, I lean on them,

From first light till the day's last hymn.

And in their eyes I always find

A peace too rare in humankind.

Verse 4

In candlelight and castle halls,

I've seen the way the brave one falls,

But give me paws upon the stone,

A fragile heart I'll call my own.

Their warmth is older than the age,

Beyond the script, beyond the page,

An anthem rising from the deep,

A vow their faithful hearts will keep.

Bridge 2

Holy and wild, they carry me,

Across the storm, across the sea,

With voices woven, thick and grand,

Like harmonies from distant land.

(A thousand voices, one refrain)

They shelter me from all my pain,

(A thousand voices, calling home)

I never walk this world alone.

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, oh, my quiet kin,

Oh, oh, oh, where I begin,

Oh, oh, oh, my tender crew,

They see me through, they see me true.

Verse 5

When winter comes with iron breath,

And every road is paved in death,

Their love remains a blazing choir,

A fire that nothing can retire.

I'll stand among the sacred stone,

And claim the warmth I've always known,

No crown, no sword, no gold can hold

The treasure that their hearts unfold.

Final Chorus

I don't need words to feel them near,

Their silent love is bright and clear.

A dog, a cat, my world, my home,

With them beside me, I'm not alone.

They lean on me, I lean on them,

Through every night and day again.

And in their eyes I always find

A peace too rare in humankind.

Outro

(Amen, amen) Forever by my side,

(Amen, amen) In them I still confide,

(Amen, amen) My faithful, gentle pride,

(Amen, amen) I'll never let them hide.

Oh, oh, oh...
