Father Knows...Somet hing?

My father was sitting in the living room with me one day while I watched Amy Grant's video for "It's Not a Song" for the millionth time. I was contently singing along with the song when my father asked me if I knew what the song was about.

He had me there. I really had no clue, so he explained to me that words are meaningless until someone finds meaning in them. For a songwriter, a song is just empty words unless someone finds something worthwhile in them.

That was the first time in my life that I remember realizing that my father knew something. In fact, he actually knew something about my favorite singer that even I didn't know. Years later I would understand even more what he was saying to me that day.

I still skip over this song a lot when I listen to the CD.
