Words, 2006 Lyrics - Sho Baraka

Yeah maybe word don't say much 

Maybe we don't need words to communicate our love 

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 

That 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 sometimes, 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 feeling shameful 

Yeah 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 when I understood 

He taught me more in his silence, that a sermon ever could 

Words can be lies to help 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 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 

(Outro) 

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
