I always had the voice, and now I am a singer.
|
The audience grows silent when I open up my mouth.
|
I sing the words I've written every night before a crowd.
|
As if I were a poet or some legendary mind.
|
|
They wonder what I'm doing up there on the stage.
|
They stare at my posture and say I speak so well.
|
I sing about my loneliness and in return they thank me.
|
I had never meant to be a singer, but I'm slowly getting used to the idea.
|
|
I am a part of this whole movement that people come to see.
|
They drive for seven hours from all across the country.
|
We raise our voices in unison at the end of the show.
|
People break into tears for reasons I don't know.
|
|
They just try to understand me, and I sing to be loved.
