	Hello darkness, my old friend,
	I’ve come to talk with you again,
	Because a vision softly creeping,
	Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
	And the vision that was planted in my brain
	Still remains
	Within the sound of silence.
	In restless dreams I walked alone
	Narrow streets of cobblestone,
	‘Neath the halo of a street lamp,
	I turned my collar to the cold and damp
	When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
	a neon light
	That split the night
	And touched the sound of silence.
	And in the naked light I saw
	Ten thousand people, maybe more.
	People talking without speaking,
	People hearing without listening,
	People writing songs that voices never share
	And no one deared
	Disturb the sound of silence.
	“Fools” said I,”You do not know
	Silence like a cancer grows.
	Hear my words that I might teach you,
	Take my arms that I might reach you.”
	But my words like silent raindrops fell,
	And echoed
	In the wells of silence
	And the people bowed and prayed
	To the neon god they made.
	And the sign flashed out its warning,
	In the words that it was forming.
	And the signs said, The words of the prophets
	are written on the subway walls
	And tenement halls.
	And whisper’d in the sounds of silence.

	Hello darkness, my old friend,
	I' ve come to talk with you again,
	Because a vision softly creeping,
	Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
	And the vision that was planted in my brain
	Still remains
	Within the sound of silence.
	In restless dreams I walked alone
	Narrow streets of cobblestone,
	' Neath the halo of a street lamp,
	I turned my collar to the cold and damp
	When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
	a neon light
	That split the night
	And touched the sound of silence.
	And in the naked light I saw
	Ten thousand people, maybe more.
	People talking without speaking,
	People hearing without listening,
	People writing songs that voices never share
	And no one deared
	Disturb the sound of silence.
	" Fools" said I," You do not know
	Silence like a cancer grows.
	Hear my words that I might teach you,
	Take my arms that I might reach you."
	But my words like silent raindrops fell,
	And echoed
	In the wells of silence
	And the people bowed and prayed
	To the neon god they made.
	And the sign flashed out its warning,
	In the words that it was forming.
	And the signs said, The words of the prophets
	are written on the subway walls
	And tenement halls.
	And whisper' d in the sounds of silence.
