Youssou N'dour - Things Unspoken lyrics

Be alert to what you see on television and at the movies

And pay attention to what you read or hear

Don't believe everything naively

Don't take everything at face value

Don't mindlessly follow every movement

Every leap and bound in that story in front of you

Many things are left unsaid

Engage yourself with the material

Many things are left unsaid

Pay attention to what is not said

Bring out for yourself

The things that are resting there

Beneath the surface.

What you read in books

Everything that you study

Cannot convey the whole picture

Remember

Our grandfathers passed on knowledge

In ways not taken much into account anymore

Pay attention to what is not said

Thank you

I'm going to read between the lines

Find meanings where the spaces are

Don't follow every movement,

Every leap and bound.
