Communication Lyrics - (a)fternoon - 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, at once I was confused 

He said, "music is the cup for you I pour 

It's all I really have, wish I could give you more 

But I have to catch my ride, son, I'm off to a distant shore" 

You see my dad gave me the keys but I'd have to show myself to the door 

Soon the words he left were too faint to hear 

And a path with no direction made it hard to steer 

My soul was dry and thirsty, my mind was so unclear 

While wandering around and searching there 

I came across a man I'd seen before I swear 

And again I'd see him too on a beach with the fading 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 here first in an attempt to quench the thirst 

The taste was like a melody 

With words to follow so expressively 

I was off to share my song and no, it wouldn't be too long 

'til I was standing on the stage and the crowd would sing it back to me 

And we'd say, 

"Communication is calling us it's all in us, 

a celebration for you and me and the universe, our destination" 

(How we find the answers) 

When we search beyond ourselves you know we always listen 

(We become so clever) 

Let our walls crumble and burn away 

(Make a change forever) 

Can we lend a better hand than the one that we've been dealt? 

Let the music be the way we get there

And we sing, 

"La la la la la la la la" 

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

Waiting there with words of wisdom and a fishing rod in hand 

I watched him and I listened so peculiar and so sweet 

Saying "Love is all that we need and communication" 

I said, 

"Communication is calling me and yes, it's all in me" 

The cup has served me well for fifteen 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 

And at times the inspiration comes and goes 

But whenever it arrives, well, I go down a take a dive
