(Chorus)
Silent sorrow…private pain
The kind only time…can reclaim
Hidden memories…we can’t restrain
Silent sorrow…private pain

A mother sees his face….on the news
He joined the service…paid his dues
For her one and only boy…there’s no tomorrow
A mother’s tears flow…in silent sorrow

A one-time star sits…all alone
Staring at the mirror…in an empty home
The wrinkles and gray...betray fortune & fame
The legend fades away…in private pain

A counselor spends his time…his life’s career
Helping some of those…who refuse to hear
Another mainline stops…time that’s borrowed
The caseworker bows his head…in silent sorrow

(Chorus)
Silent sorrow…private pain
The kind only time…can reclaim
Hidden memories…we can’t restrain
Silent sorrow…private pain
