Silent Scream

In the swirl of passion
Lies the seed of baby's cry
Two strangers sharing
The act of desperate love
Thoughtlessly creating
The spark of a lullaby
Ending in a silent scream

Young lives a-drifting
Like two ships in the night
On waves of mixed emotions
Tossing side to side
Soon a seed is growing
There's nothing they can hide
Will it end in a silent scream

What leap of logic
Takes them down forbidden roads
Where servants called to heal
Bring death to living souls
And loving parents
Reach their hands to smother children
Long before they breathe
Long before they dream or taste reality

I can see the One
Who never turns a child aside
Gathering the children
In His arms, He cries
"Father, forgive the ones
Who know not what they do"
They just would not hear the silent scream
