  • The first time I heard it
    Didn't know what it was
    I listened to it over and over
    I couldn't get enough
    I knew every syllable
    And the space in between
    And I wondered
    What my own song would be

    I thought I understood what the words meant
    I thought I knew the meaning behind
    I memorized the sounds and the rhythms
    And wondered about the stories inside
    I thought I understood what the words meant
    I thought that they were written for me
    A message spelled out in a language
    That only those who've been there
    Been there can read

    The first time I heard it
    Didn't know what it was
    It was foreign and angry and brilliant
    I couldn't get enough
    But the story behind it
    You revealed it to me
    And I realized
    You had lived through what I had never seen

    I never understood what the words meant
    I never knew the meaning behind
    I memorized the sounds and the rhythms
    But didn't know the stories inside
    I never understood what the words meant
    The words were never written for me
    A message spelled out in a language
    That only those who've been there
    Been there can read

    I wish I didn't know what the words meant
    Or understand the meaning behind
    I memorized the sounds and the rhythms
    And now I know the stories inside
    I wish I didn't know what the words meant
    That they were never written for me
    A message spelled out in a language
    That only those who've been there
    Been there can read

    Been there
    Been there can read
    Been there
    Been there can read
