Lyrics
Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Take the children and yourself and hide out in the cellar
By now the fighting will be close at hand
Don't believe the church and state and everything they tell you
Believe in me, I'm with the high command
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running?
Can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running?
Can you hear me calling you?
There's a gun and ammunition just inside the doorway
Use it only in emergency
Better you should pray to God, the father
And the Spirit will guide you and protect you from up here
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running?
Can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running?
Can you hear me calling you?
Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For someday, sons and daughters, will rise and fight while we stood still
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running?
Can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running?
Can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running?
Can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me running? (can you hear me calling you?)
(Can you hear me?) Hear me calling you?
(Can you hear me running?) Hear me running, babe?
(Can you hear me running?) Hear me running?
Calling you, calling you
