Mother and father, tell me true When you first held each other's hands and knew That the hand you were holding was for you Did your heart shake like this song? When I spoke to my sister, she was wise Said she trusted my heart but not my mind So I put all my faith in blood and cried And my heart shook like this song Yes, my heart shook like this song Oh, how am I ever gonna love you If I do all of my living without giving it to you? Look at my hands, they're the hands of a preacher Sure his sermon's gonna change today Look at my lips, they're the lips of a dreamer Free at last to say the words they've saved I told her "Come closer" We stepped inside a memory Flickering and old We stepped inside an old room We'd always known SongtexteOur parents on the left side Brother on the right My sister in the center saying, "Be bold" And all of our nights will be nights worth living And all of our songs will be songs worth singing And all of our hopes will be hopes worth dreaming And all of our lives I'll be right there living Let's take our cue from truth It's hot in here It's hotter than an angel Once we leave this room It's you and me Let's sing because we're able to Mother and father, tell me true When you first held each other's hands and knew That the hand you were holding was for you Did your heart shake like this song? One day I'll hold you We'll be old All our years stretched behind us, full and bold And we'll speak of the night our song got told Oh, we'll hold each other long While we both shake like our song Aus Songtexte Mania
