Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the silence, I heard a tale
A story told with a serious gale
A man with eyes that seemed to see
Beyond the lines of reality

[VERSE 1]
He spoke of things that didn't add up
Of whispers in the dark, of shadows that clutched
I didn't laugh, though I wanted to
There was something in his eyes, a truth or two
A flicker in my blood, a shiver down my spine
A whisper from behind my ribs, a warning sign

[CHORUS]
Oh, the weight of what he said
A seed was planted in my head
A doubt, a fear, a truth unspoken
That echoed deep, a silence broken

[VERSE 2]
My Grandaddy, the County Agent man
Knew the land like the back of his hand
He'd walk the fields, the pastures too
Diagnose the problems, know just what to do
He'd kneel down, dig in the dirt
Listen to the land, and hear its hurt

[CHORUS]
Oh, the weight of what he said
A seed was planted in my head
A doubt, a fear, a truth unspoken
That echoed deep, a silence broken

[BRIDGE]
He'd see the signs, the subtle clues
The way the trees would lean, the way the wind would move
He'd know the secrets, the hidden truths
The language of the land, the whispers of the roots

[VERSE 3]
I saw him heal a dying tree
Without a test, just a glance, a decree
He'd touch the bark, sniff the air
And know the problem, without a care
Too much salt, too much pain
A diagnosis, a solution to obtain

[CHORUS]
Oh, the weight of what he said
A seed was planted in my head
A doubt, a fear, a truth unspoken
That echoed deep, a silence broken

[OUTRO]
Now I hear the whispers too
A language spoken, just for me and you
A truth that's hidden, yet to be told
A secret kept, a story yet untold
