lori mckenna:

Well I know your life has been hard

I see it in your eyes and I feel it in your heart

When your eyes move down to the floor

And your mouth changes shape, and your voice sounds sore

I can hold you close in my arms

And tell you that you're special

And that you treasure such great charms

And that you always keep my heart full

But I'm hardly speaking a word

I'm hardly speaking a word

And I know these things should be heard

But I'm hardly speaking a word

And your struggle never changes me

I'll never be able to see the things you see

They say that you see things differently

Just because it's different doesn't mean it can't be free

But I'm hardly speaking a word

I'm hardly speaking a word

So I wonder, what do they know

Maybe the problem is me not letting go

Of a little boy who's smarter than me

Who can't sit still and sees things differently

And I'm yelling when I should be whispering

I'm pushing when I should be carrying

And I don't understand anything I've heard

I should be yelling I love you

But I'm hardly speaking a word

So I wonder, what do I know

Maybe the problem is me not letting go

Of a little boy who's smarter than me

Who can't sit still and sees things differently

And I'm yelling when I should be whispering

And I'm pushing when I should be carrying

And I don't understand anything I've heard

I should be yelling I love you

I should be yelling I love you

I should be yelling I love you

But I'm hardly speaking a word

I hadn't thought of it that way-about someone with Asperger's. Makes a lot of sense.

it's a love song from a mother to a child with an autistic spectrum condition, possibly Asperger's.

I made a picture almost exactly the same as this one, only in black and white!
