Silence, Stillness Song | Donal Morrissey Ballads

Silence, Stillness

The Inspiration

“Silence, Stillness” was inspired by the profound clarity and peace that only arrives when we quiet the constant noise of the modern world. In those rare, motionless moments, the busy mind settles, giving way to a deeper connection with creation and a realisation that life’s most valuable gifts cannot be bought. The song reflects a journey of stepping back from everyday stresses to create a quiet mental sanctuary, a space where soul-level answers can finally surface, replacing anxiety and low spirits with quiet strength and inspiration.

The heart of the ballad centers on the transformative comfort found in prayer, solitude, and unconditional forgiveness. It frames silence not as emptiness, but as a living dialogue where intuition and divine presence meet. By encouraging listeners to slow down, embrace stillness, and listen closely to those quiet “soul whispers,” the lyrics offer a reassuring message: whenever we feel alone or burdened by our flaws, a grounding, loving presence is always right there waiting to restore our inner peace and remind us of who we truly are.

First Verse
Every time, my mind’ stills,
It ponders, creation,
That’s when I feel, that sense of where,
All this time, my heart fills,
With answers, soul whispers,
That’s when I get, to sense, who’s there.

Second Verse
Every time, I feel low,
You lift me, inspire me,
Help me to see, what’s best is free,
All this time, my heart stills,
In silence, in stillness,
That’s when it feels, so good to be.

Chorus
Silence, Stillness, fills the soul with real peace,
Feel the oneness, with creation, that inner release,
Silence, Stillness, hear that voice from above,
Sense the wisdom, of soul whispers, the source of real love.

Third Verse
Every time, I’m alone,
You join me, befriend me,
Lifts my spirit, so I can see,
Every time, that I sin,
You hear me, forgive me,
That’s where I get, the strength to be.

Fourth Verse
Every time, my soul fills,
With wisdom, with wonder,
That’s when I sense, your love in prayer,
All this time, my soul stills,
In silence, in stillness,
That’s when I feel, and know you’re there.
