Common Language
Finding Unity in Shared Emotions
Lyrics
I saw the things you wrote today
Expression of observing the written thoughts of the person.
A status with a worried face
Reference to a social media status indicating concern.
Two hands saying we should pray
Mention of a gesture suggesting prayer and unity.
You didn’t need to spell it out
Recognition that the situation is evident without explicit details.
For me to see how things are now
Acknowledgment of the speaker's perception of the current situation.
You said all you had to say
Confirmation that the person has conveyed their feelings adequately.
And if I could I’d put my arms around you
Expresses a desire to offer emotional support through physical presence.
Just so you would know I care about you
Emphasizes caring for the person in question.
We all speak a common language
Introduction of the theme that humanity shares a common language.
Think we can’t but be can
Asserts the ability of everyone to communicate despite perceived differences.
It’s written into what we are
Reflection on the inherent commonality in human nature.
Seas and mountains may divide us
Recognition that physical barriers don't negate our shared humanity.
Something deep inside unites us
Highlighting a deep, common connection among all humans.
Makes us human to the heart
Stating that this shared connection is fundamental to our humanity.
Your eyes say more than any words
Emphasizes the significance of non-verbal communication.
And there’s no richer sound on earth
Recognition of the profound impact of a heartbeat, a universal sound.
Than when a beating heart begins
Expresses the emotional resonance of the beginning of a life.
When your life begins break
Refers to a moment of vulnerability or change in life.
I feel the crashing sound it makes
Imagery of the emotional impact with a crashing sound.
And I will hold you if I can
Expresses a desire to provide support during difficult times.
Love is more than words and beyond any language
Affirms that love transcends words and language.
And love is all we need to reach across the farthest boundaries
Belief that love is the key to overcoming any distance or difference.
When I see you cry
Acknowledges shared emotions by mentioning tears.
You know that I’ll cry with you
Promises empathy and shared emotions during difficult times.
And if you dance
Symbolizes shared joy through dancing.
I’ll hear your song and I’ll be dancing too
Commitment to join in the joy and celebration of others.
