When You Learn To Sing Lyrics

A father can give you his words
But words are just symbols for things.
And after he's gone
That's when you learn to sing.

A mother can give you her breast
But soon that's all she'll bring.
And when she's left
That's when you learn to sing.

People live this life.
I know we lie and deceive.
It's learned that I'm blind.
I just wanted
To believe.

And when your love grabs your arm
And whispers the sweetest of lies
And all those around you, they wonder
How can you've been surprised.Robin Eubanks - When You Learn To Sing - http://motolyrics.com/robin-eubanks/when-you-learn-to-sing-lyrics.html

People live this life.
I know you lie and deceive.
I'm not so blind.
I just wanted...

People live the world.
I know you hurt and deceive.
I'm not so blind.
I just wanted
And I want, and I want
To believe.

And I want to believe. [x7]
And I just wanted...
