I always had the voice and now I am a singer The audience goes quiet When I open up my mouth I sing the words I've written Every night before a crowd As if I was a poet With some legendary mind They wonder what I'm doing Up here on the stage They stare at my posture And say I speak so rare I sing about my loneliness And in return they thank me I never meant to be a singer But I'm slowly getting used to the idea I'm part of this whole movement That people come to see They drive for seven hours All across the country We raise our voice in unison At the end of the night People break into tears For reasons I don't know They just want to understand me They just want to understand me They just want to understand me And I sing Yes I sing Yes I sing To be loved To be loved To be loved
