Communication - Mae

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, and once I was confused

He said music is the cup for you I pour

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

But I have to catch my ride, son

I’m off to a distant shore

See, my dad gave me the keys

But I had to show myself to the door

Soon the words he left were too faint to hear

And a path of no direction made it hard to steer

My soul was dry at first year

My mind was so unclear

While wandering around in searching there

I came across a man I’ve seen before, I swear

And again I’d see him too

On the beach with the fating 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 there first, in an attempt to quench the thirst

Each day was like a melody, with words to follow so expressively

I was off to share my song, I knew it wouldn’t be too long

Till I was standing on the stage

And the crowd would sing it back to me and we’d sing

Communication is calling us, it’s all in us

A celebration, for you and me, and the universe

Our destination, oh

(How we find the answer)

When we search beyond ourselves, you know we always learn

(We've becomes so clever)

Let our walls crumble and burn away

(We can change forever)

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

And we sing, la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la, la la, la la

We sing communication (la la la la la la la la)

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

When there with his words of wisdom and a fishing rod in hand

I watched him and I listened

So peculiar and so sweet, singing

Love is all that we need

And communication, yeah, and communication

La la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la, la la, la la

I said communication

Is calling me, and yes it’s all in me

The cup has served me well for 15 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

Sometimes the inspiration comes and goes

But whenever it arrives

Well, I go down and take a dive

When I swam up to the surface

I sing communication, every time

Yeah, yeah

I sing communication

I sing communication, every time

(La la la, la la la la)

I sing communication, la la la, la la la la

La la la, la la la la
