Story Behind the Song
Families sometimes give up on talking to each other when the heat of conflict gets so great that there seems to be no conversation that doesn't draw its edges and pains. What kind of masochist delights in going into a conversation just to get his head verbally blown off again? And yet, because God perseveres in His conversation or communication to us, always waiting for the prodigal to come home, we draw our strength to try again.
The fruit of these conversations or conversation attempts may not readily show up. In the numerous attempts to try, without badgering or threatening, you may win more opportunity than you think. The parent starts the gradual shift from being boss to being guide, and sometimes that shift doesn't come easily. In I John we read "We love because He first loved us," (4:19). That love should inspire us to keep on pursuing others, especially family.
Lyrics
Talk to me, the way you used to do.
You would talk to me
And I would talk to you.
And you would listen to me.
Work it out. Never let it go.
If you got any doubt.
How can I discover
What life's all about,
If you don't talk to me?
I may seem so hard to reach.
There may be times
When it's hard to teach me.
Don't hang it up!
Don't you remember
You went through this too?
There may be pain.
There may be days
Of conflict and strain.
But we can hit the subject again.
I will remember what you tried to do.
Talk to me.
Make tomorrows good yesterdays.
Both of us walking
Through a troubled phase.
Both of us learning to love.
Can you see? I will be
In your shoes in a few short years.
Then I will remember
All your many tears.
'Cause you would talk to me.
