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 |
