lyrics

Verse 1:
What does it mean when you keep silent
Oh whoa
What does it mean when you don't speak
(Hold your peace)
Are your eyes closed as your lips are
I wonder
(oh oh ooh)
What does it mean
What is it you want from me
A human being needs assurance
We don't do well with patience
Your silence at the least it bothers me
So much for peace and serenity


Pre Hook:
Father Have Mercy oh
I don't want to let you down
Father have mercy oh
I don't mean to let you down
Father have mercy oh
I really want to hear your sound
Father have mercy oh
I don't I don't I don't I don't
I don't I don't I don't

Hook:
Remember da Remind
Remember da remind me
Recollect and see, recollect and see see
Remember da remind
Remember da remind me
Silence please

Remember da Remind
Remember da remind me
Recollect and see, recollect and see see
Remember da remind
Remember da remind me
Silence please

Verse 2:
Dilly dillah dilly dilly day
If I stumble along the way
Dilly Dillah dilly dilly day ay
Counting on you to keep me safe
And I'm waiting on you to say something
Say something
I'm gonna need you to say something
Say something
What am I to do if you don't say something
Say something
Or have you said it before

Hook:
Remember da Remind
Remember da remind me
(Said it before)
Recollect and see, recollect and see see
(I know you said it before)
Remember da remind
Remember da remind me
(Ey aye eh)
(Father Have Mercy oh)
Remember da Remind
Remember da remind me
(Father have mercy oh)
Recollect and see, recollect and see see
(I don't want to let you down)
Remember da remind
Remember da remind me
(Oh oh)
Silence please

Pre Bridge:
Oh I, I
Beg you
Remember
When I spoke the most
(Silence Please)
Remember da Remind
Remember da remind me
Recollect and see, recollect and see see

Bridge:
Even when the world makes a noise a noise a noise
Your love is loud and clear and clear and clear
Even when the world makes a noise a noise a noise
Your love is clear


Father have mercy
Father have mercy
Father have mercy oh
(Ey ey ey)
Father have mercy
Father have mercy
Father have mercy oh

Father have mercy oh
Father have mercy
Father have mercy oh


Hook:
Remember da Remind
Remember da remind me
Recollect and see, recollect and see see
Remember da remind
Remember da remind me
Silence please

(Dilly dillah dilly dilly day)
Remember da Remind
Remember da remind me
Recollect and see, recollect and see see
(Dilly dillah dilly dilly day)
Remember da remind
Remember da remind me
Silence please
