With Or Without Words
Got things to say, bottled up inside,
I'm trying to feel what that must feel like.
Been stuck inside you so long it must hurt,
you can't talk...with or without words.
Do you know there's people like you
that know how to talk without sound;
people who think and feel what you do
but use their hands and not their mouth?
But no ones ever taught you,
everyday you see people moving their mouths,
so you do too.
They don't understand you, you can't figure it out.
Has anyone ever asked you:
what you think?
What do you feel?
Why are you sad?
Why do you cry?
You know I'm not like you, I hear sound.
I talk with words, I use my mouth.
But I'm not unlike you:
I turn off my mouth and turn on my hands
and talk in a way so you understand...
because you deserve to.
Deserve to understand me
trying to understand you.
I'm not pretending to be
like you.
I just want to show you,
I'm human, and so are you
I feel what you feel,
and when you speak,
I'll understand you.
All those thoughts and feelings inside
come on and let them out, I've got time.
I'm here
and I understand you.
