Lyrics
The sun was stretchin' through the morning haze
Had the taste of midnight still on my face
I was driftin' home in my leather shoes
Thought I knew the world, thought I paid my dues
Then I saw him suit wrinkled, but eyes bright
Sittin' like he'd been there his whole life
He said, Son, got a smoke you could spare?
I said, Sure, old man and I pulled up a chair
When I discovered the world
It wasn't loud, it wasn't grand
It was quiet and slow
Like a groove you understand
When I discovered the world
It was early and it was true
It was sittin' on a bench
In a city painted blue
He said, Boy, let me tell you 'bout the mind and the heart
They don't fight they just play different parts
We get caught tryin' to fix what we feel
But love ain't math it don't need to be real
Sometimes we break 'cause we need to be seen
Sometimes we leave just to come back clean
And every person's just tryin' to be known
But most don't even know their own tone
When I discovered the world
It wasn't loud, it wasn't grand
It was quiet and slow
Like a groove you understand
When I discovered the world
It was early and it was true
It was sittin' on a bench
In a city painted blue
He talked like Miles played
Slow, bent notes and hidden shade
Said: 'Connection it's not just words
It's how you look when you're not being heard
He taught me more in one sunrise
Than all the nights I tried to be wise
When I discovered the world
It was broken and beautiful
It had voices I'd never heard
It had silence that was meaningful
When I discovered the world
It was under my feet all along
In a stranger's truth
In a quiet, smoky song
He lit more than a cigarette that day
He lit up my mind
