Don Conoscenti

i ask my hands for an explanation
of the things that they have done
they just stare and answer me with silence
and the rain finds its own way home
as it dances towards the sun
it sings to me a song i've never heard
and it knows that i will listen to every single word

there are cracks here in this highway
like the ones here in my heart
there are more important things
i could be thinking about
but this one holds me here and it will not let me out
it sings to me a song i've never heard
and it knows that i will listen to every single word

i am frozen here in time
surrounded by this dream of mine
it holds me close and it will not let me go
there is no hate.  there is no fear
there is no hidden meaning here
just the truest voice i've ever known
and it knows that i will listen
and wish it was my own
