Lyrics

Walkin' through the park, it wasn't quite dark
There was a man sitting on a bench
Out of the crowd as his head lowly bowed
He just moaned and it made no sense
He'd just go, um, um, um, um, um, um
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Um, um, um, um, um, um
I just couldn't help myself, guess I was born with a curious mind
I asked this man just what did he mean
When he moaned if he'd be so kind
And he'd just go, um, um, um, um, um, um
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Now that I've grown up and the woman I love, she has gone
Now that I'm a man, I think I understand
Sometimes everyone will sing this song
Listen to them sing
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Can't you hear him now?
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Everybody now
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Can't you hear him now?
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Um, um, um, um, um, um
One more time, now
