Words, 2006 |
All I wanted a perfect life |
Some perfect kids and a perfect wife |
Some perfect days and some perfect nights |
Even though I’m flawed, I should be alright |
A child with special needs didn’t fit in my plans |
I’m a needy man, wanting more that what you put in his hands |
All I wanted was a perfect family core |
Now I’m envying the family next door |
Trying not to trust therapy more than God |
I am walking the street where fear and love collide |
I am learning in weakness, you still gotta serve |
And my connection with my boys is way deeper than words |
But damn, words, I thrive with 'em |
Words are my life, my career, I survive with 'em |
I’m given a life sentence that words can’t fix |
Now we both live in a world that don’t make sense |
Yeah, maybe words don’t say much |
Maybe we don’t need words to communicate our love |
My sons are not a punishment or an accident |
Just a little abstract masterpiece of what the Master did |
I try not to doubt the power of prayer |
But many times, I just feel like the power ain’t there |
Some days I’m feeling good, some days I’m feeling torn |
I’m getting praise for activities a father should perform |
I get applause when I excel, thank you |
Is there grace for me when I fail and I’m feeling shameful? |
Yeah, well, maybe words don’t say much |
Maybe we don’t need words to communicate our love |
My father said he needed greater trust in the Lord |
And the Lord used cancer so he could trust in Him more |
He died without complaining, that’s when I understood |
He taught me more in his silence than a sermon ever could |
Words can be lies to help us disguise our phoniness |
Feeling insecure in the midst of pride and loneliness |
I learned the meaning of contentment really fast |
Wanting change while appreciating everything that you have |
Yeah, maybe words don’t say much |
Maybe we don’t need words to communicate our love |
Maybe words don’t say much |
Maybe I should just learn to shut up |
Only you know |
Only you know |
Ohhh, ohhhh, ohhhh |
Only you know |
Only you know |
Ohhh, ohhhh, ohhhh |
Truth is your presence speaks much louder than when a choir sings |
I never knew I’ll find joy up in the smallest things |
The counsellor said «Live long, love strong, stick together |
This is a thorny rose you two will carry forever |
Find value in your interactions, and not in your treasure |
Find strength in Jesus, increase your faith in good measure |
Avoid evil, your kids need a home that is peaceful |
Don’t be a passive man, understand that your family needs you |
Pray for healing, hoping they find a cause» |
But after all, I resolved, you are not a problem to solve |
Maybe I wouldn’t change you |
Maybe I’m just unable to see your potential |
Because I’m blinded by the labels |
Yeah, maybe words don’t say much |
Maybe we don’t need words to communicate our love |
Maybe words don’t say much |
In that moment, we had a breakthrough |
Silence, I want to thank you |
In that moment, we had a breakthrough |
Silence, I want to thank you |
