- Weeping Lyrics(feat. Ladysmith Black Mambazo)
I knew a man who lived in fear
It was huge, it was angry,
It was drawing near.
Behind his house a secret place
Was the shadow of the demon
He could never face.
He built a wall of steel and flame
And men with guns to keep it tame
Then standing back he made it plain
That the nightmare would never ever rise again
But the fear and the fire and the guns remain.
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
He tells the world that it's sleeping
But as the night came round I heard
It slowly sound
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
And then one day the neighbours came
They were curious to know about the smoke and flame
They stood around outside the wall
But of course there was nothing to be heard at all
"My friends," he said, "We've reached our goal
The threat is under firm control
As long as peace and order reign
I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain
Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain."
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
He tells the world that it's sleeping
But as the night came round I heard
It slowly sound
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
Say ah, say ah, say ah
Say ah, say ah, say ah
[Ladysmith's solo]
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
He tells the world that it's sleeping
But as the night came round I heard
It slowly sound
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
Say ah, say ah, say ah
Say ah, say ah, say ah [to end]
I knew a man who lived in fear
It was huge, it was angry,
It was drawing near.
Behind his house a secret place
Was the shadow of the demon
He could never face.
He built a wall of steel and flame
And men with guns to keep it tame
Then standing back he made it plain
That the nightmare would never ever rise again
But the fear and the fire and the guns remain.
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
He tells the world that it's sleeping
But as the night came round I heard
It slowly sound
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
And then one day the neighbours came
They were curious to know about the smoke and flame
They stood around outside the wall
But of course there was nothing to be heard at all
"My friends," he said, "We've reached our goal
As long as peace and order reign
I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain
Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain."
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
He tells the world that it's sleeping
But as the night came round I heard
It slowly sound
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
Say ah, say ah, say ah
Say ah, say ah, say ah
[Ladysmith's solo]
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
He tells the world that it's sleeping
But as the night came round I heard
It slowly sound
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
Say ah, say ah, say ah
Say ah, say ah, say ah [to end]
Facts about Weeping
✔️
Weeping is written by Peter Cohen, Tom Fox, Ian Cohen, Dan Heymann.
✔️
It is first released on November 07, 2006 as part of Josh Groban's album "Awake" which includes 13 tracks in total.
✔️
When we think about what all of this might truly mean, the composition 'Weeping' by Josh Groban narrates the life of a man who lived in fear, represented by a devil that he could never confront. He tried to suppress the fear with barriers and hardware, yet it still stalked him around, meaning the past issues were not solved. The text of the song makes clear how vain it is to attempt to hide the problems one's heart ever implanted as they, eventually, come out even noiselessly, likened to the weeping rather than roaring, thus pointing to the necessity to treat and face the inner demons instead of silencing them. Apparently, the weeping lyrics center on social commentary, peace, inspiration, hope and despair. Meanwhile, the song highlights fear and oppression, false security and hope and change bit by bit. The lyrics portray fear, conflict, and societal issues which are probably sensitive topics for children hence a parent's guidance might be needed. Although the song does not contain any direct mentions of violence or adult matters, the mature themes may still not be appropriate for kids.
