My dad gave me a book,
he said he wished that I would read,
that it strengthens the mind.
My days are spend lying down,
I didn't want to read the books,
I wanted to watch the sounds.
Today I looked at my book,
I tried to make my father proud,
so I gave it a try.
One hour passed with my book,
I didn't know what I had read,
wanted to watch the sounds.
The sounds were my only friend,
I was a new kid in this town --
It was different before.
There were no kids on my street,
I was just 9 years old at that time,
I wanted to watch the sounds.
I wanted to watch the sounds,
days are falling around,
I wanted to watch the sounds.
