The Man Without Many Words

from Snake Road by Englewood

/

lyrics

There was a man who lived by words,
there was a man who lived by words.
He made words work, he made words pay.
He made us laugh when he made words play.

The silence fell on him one day.
The silence fell on him one day.
And darkness tried to take him away.
The silence came that awful day.

We waited through long silent hours.
We prayed through long silent hours.
We sat in tears, we cried in fear.
Waiting through the long silent hours.

Then one day the man came back.
One blessed day the man came back.
The man sat up, and then he laughed.
That’s how we knew the man was back.

And he worked to gain his strength.
And he worked to find his words.
For his children, for his wife,
he worked to build a new life.

And now he lives without many words.
He doesn’t need many words.
His love is fierce, his heart is strong.
The words are short, but the story’s long.

He brings us comfort, he bring us peace.
He gives us love, he brings us ease.
It’s his strong soul that gives us peace.
He’s the man without many words.
He’s the man without many words.
