The Bells Were Silent 歌詞 Halie Loren ふりがな付

We took up the mantle, made holiday cheer
With a somber inflection to mark this dark era
We stood in the cold night awaiting to hear
But the bells were silent this year

We lit the candles, holding them near
As we sang Silent Night through bittersweet tears
Thinking of all the voices too soon disappeared
Oh, the bells were silent this year
All is calm, all is bright
In so many wishful dreams tonight
May the next year bring us back into the light

We stared at the sky, wishing that it were clear
So the Bethlehem star might finally appear
But just knowing it's up there after 800 years
In a time when the struggle is so hard down here
And the people are restless and so full of fear
Maybe send us a sign that it's worth persevering
Well, maybe the quiet is what's needed most dear
So the bells stayed silent

Maybe angels stepped in, put a wrench in the gears
So the bells, they stayed silent

Maybe someone forgot, and there's no meaning here
And the bells, they were just silent

Every note of that hymn felt new to our ears
When the bells were silent this year
