Behind the veil of silence
I suffered night and day
Pain I felt was overwhelming
But you couldn't tell by looking at my face
Ooh, I learned how to carry a smile
And pretend to be alive
When you're behind the veil of silence
When you're behind the veil of silence
You pretend you don't feel the pain
But the breaking of the heart
Tearing you apart
And all those thoughts
They just won't go away
Now the lines have been drawn
You're not alone anymore
Behind the veil of silence
When you live in a hostile environment
Day after day, you're accused and abused
You feel like you're living behind prison walls
You feel the shame, you take the blame
I kept it hidden for so many years
Lord only knows how many tears
I can't carry this alone
You see, I'm coming out
I'm speaking out
For every woman and child
Every boy and girl
You see, I know how it feels
I've been there
I've been hurt
I've been accused
I've been abused
Don't be afraid, we've got your back
I understand what you're going through
You think you can't do it on your own
But God will give you strength
You're stronger than you think you are
You can survive
You can survive
Behind the veil
When you're behind the veil
Veil of silence
Oh, you can come out
You've been hurt so long
You see, sometimes we don't even know how true love really feels
But you love yourself before you can love somebody else
You have to take responsibility for yourself
Behind the veil
Come on out
Don't be afraid
