What The Words Meant |
The first time I heard it |
Didn't know what it was |
I listened to it over and over |
I couldn't get enough |
I knew every syllable |
And the space in between |
And I wondered |
What my own song would be |
I thought I understood what the words meant |
I thought I knew the meaning behind |
I memorized the sounds and the rhythms |
And wondered about the stories inside |
I thought I understood what the words meant |
I thought that they were written for me |
A message spelled out in a language |
That only those who've been there |
Been there can read |
The first time I heard it |
Didn't know what it was |
It was foreign and angry and brilliant |
I couldn't get enough |
But the story behind it |
You revealed it to me |
And I realized |
You had lived through what I had never seen |
I never understood what the words meant |
I never knew the meaning behind |
I memorized the sounds and the rhythms |
But didn't know the stories inside |
I never understood what the words meant |
The words were never written for me |
A message spelled out in a language |
That only those who've been there |
Been there can read |
I wish I didn't know what the words meant |
Or understand the meaning behind |
I memorized the sounds and the rhythms |
And now I know the stories inside |
I wish I didn't know the words meant |
That they were written for me |
A message spelled out in a language |
That only those who've been there |
Been there can read |
Been there |
Been there can read |
Been there |
Been there can read |
