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 was 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'd never meant to be a singer, but I'm slowly getting used to the idea      I'm part of this whole moment, that people come to see      They drive for seven hours from all across the country      We raise our voice in unison at the end of the show      People break into tears for reasons I don't know      They just want to understand me, and I sing too be loved.
