[lyrics]

With an inability to lie and your feelings you can't hide
Where you listen with your eyes and ya' senses delight
This isn't disability with audibility denied
This is being alive.

Intonations in facial expressions,
Hand rotating and so many lessons
There's so much more to us than the words of a sentence,
And when your intentions have no hiding place,

Your tendons state the expressions you convey
I thank you for the type of bravery that you embrace,
You don't need a hearing aid or need to translate,
So speak with your hands, your body and face.

Signs of language that surround us all
Signs that vanish when there's no sound at all,
Signs of vantage when action calls
Reminders of the language that binds us all.
