Silent streets, the snow is falling
Empty roads, but hope is calling
Window lights like stars above
Finally learned what it means to love
All the noise has died away
Found myself on Christmas day
Silent streets, I'm walking home now
Different man than what I'd known how
Every step feels like a prayer
Breathing in December air
Left the darkness far behind
Christmas peace within my mind
Oh the silence isn't lonely anymore
It's the sound of grace knocking at my door
Silent streets on Christmas Eve
Teaching me how to believe
In the quiet, I can hear
Everything becomes so clear
Silent streets, they lead me home
Never have to walk alone
Silent streets, the church bells ringing
Hear my heart, it's finally singing
Through the pain I found my way
To this holy Christmas day
Footprints in the virgin snow
Show me where I need to go
German winter, childhood memories
Before the fall, before the disease
Now I'm standing here alive
On this silent, holy night
The silence saved my life!
Oh the silence isn't lonely anymore
It's the sound of grace knocking at my door
Silent streets on Christmas Eve
Teaching me how to believe
In the quiet, I can hear
Everything becomes so clear
Silent streets, they lead me home
Never have to walk alone
Silent streets, they lead me home
Christmas brought me home
