In the stillness of the night
A mother lies awake
And she couldn't tell you why
But she feels the need to pray
Softly lifting those she loves
With a fervor unexplained
Invoking the powers above
As she whispers Jesus' name

Somewhere in the silence
Heaven intervenes
Tempting unsuspecting hearts
From dangers left unseen
A faithful soul falls to her knees
And reaches hеaven's heights
Somewhеre in the silence tonight

On the midnight highway stretch
A daughter drives alone
Unaware of danger's edge
As she works her way toward home
And the sound of angels' wings
All around goes unobserved
Beckoned to the scene
By the prayers that heaven heard
Somewhere in the silence
Heaven intervenes
Tempting unsuspecting hearts
From dangers left unseen
A faithful soul falls to her knees
And reaches heaven's heights
Somewhere in the silence tonight

Oh, somewhere in the silence
Somewhere in the silence
A faithful soul falls to her knees
And reaches heaven's heights
Somewhere in the silence tonight
Oh-whoa, tonight

Somewhere in the silence
A faithful soul falls to her knees
And reaches heaven's heights
Somewhere in the silence tonight

Oh-oh...
Oh-oh, tonight
