CAN YOU TELL?

You can tell a goose bump by the feeling, by touching the skin
And you can see a broken heart in the eyes, where the joy might have been
You can feel a holiness in the sky as the clouds roll in
And you can feel the innocence of a soul, afraid to begin

Can you tell I’ve lost my way?
Please don’t tell
There’s nobody breaking these walls down today
Can you tell I’m alone?
Please don’t tell

You can tell a good song by the silence that separates the notes
And you can feel the beauty in the ballast, the way it makes you float
You can tell a good book at the ending, not the middle or the start, and
You can tell a good love by the laughter, by the warming of the heart

Can you tell I’ve lost my way?
Please don’t tell
There’s nobody breaking these walls down today
Can you tell I’m alone?
Please don’t tell

Tell me a story, a beautiful story
Tell me how through it all someone found a way to love
Tell me a story, a beautiful story
Tell me how through it all someone found a way to love

Did I know?
Will I know?
Can you tell?
Please don’t tell
Is it true?
Is it true?
Someone found a way to love
