  Db                     E                F#
I Was born with an angel whispering in my ear
Db                              E               F#
Telling me sacred secrets that God wanted me to hear.
           A                  B
And I have lived to tell the mysteries I've been told
          A                B
And even when they tell me it's my time to go
  E              F#
No I will not, No I will not
      Db
Not go quietly
  E                F#
No I will not, No I will not
        A              B
Not go quietly no, no, Not go quietly no, no
       Db
Not go quietly


These things I tell, they are much truer
than the heart of he who speaks
Even so, this humble servant
can not help but talk about his King
so I will sing 'cause I can't hold back the song
I shout and scream, until God takes me home

CHORUS

Bridge
E
So how can I keep Silent
F#
So how can I not speak
A
And tell about the Saviour
B
Who has set this prisoner free.

CHORUS
