MAE - Communication lyrics

rate me

I was born in ’82, a poor man’s son

When it came to hand-me-downs he only gave me one

At first I was ungrateful, at once I was confused

He said, “music is the cup for you I pour

It’s all I really have, wish I could give you more

But I have to catch my ride, son, I’m off to a distant shore”

You see my dad gave me the keys but I’d have to show myself to the door

Soon the words he left were too faint to hear

And a path with no direction made it hard to steer

My soul was dry and thirsty, my mind was so unclear

While wandering around and searching there

I came across a man I’d seen before I swear

And again I’d see him too on a beach with the fading of the moon

And he’d say,

“Communication is calling you it’s all in you.

No hesitation, you’ve got to see this through”

I needed something to fill me up

In my bag a gift from dad, my music cup

Well, I should have looked here first in an attempt to quench the thirst

The taste was like a melody

With words to follow so expressively

I was off to share my song and no, it wouldn’t be too long

‘til I was standing on the stage and the crowd would sing it back to me

And we’d say,

“Communication is calling us it’s all in us,

a celebration for you and me and the universe, our destination”

(How we find the answers)

When we search beyond ourselves you know we always learn

(We become so clever)

Let our walls crumble and burn away

(Make a change forever)

Can we lend a better hand than the one that we’ve been dealt?

Let the music be the way we get there

And we sing,

“La la la la la la la la”

I walked the beach that morning and I found my faithful friend

Waiting there with words of wisdom and a fishing rod in hand

I watched him and I listened so peculiar and so sweet

Saying “Love is all that we need and communication”

I said,

“Communication is calling me and yes, it’s all in me”

The cup has served me well for fifteen years

With music in my world I’ve shed some fears

And I’ve tried to understand how to be a better man

There is rhythm to my life that ebbs and flows

And at times the inspiration comes and goes

But whenever it arrives, well, I go down a take a dive

When I swim up to the surface I sing “communication” every time
