Michael Jackson

Speechless

Speechless was written by Michael Jackson as a promotional single for his 2001 album: Invincible. Michael Jackson was inspired to write the ballad after a water balloon fight with children in Germany, saying:

You’ll be surprised. I was with these kids in Germany, and we had a big water-balloon fight – I’m serious – and I was so happy after the fight that I ran upstairs in their house and wrote “Speechless”. Fun inspires me. I hate to say that, because it’s such a romantic song. But it was the fight that did it. I was happy, and I wrote it in it’s entirety right there. I felt it would be good enough for the album. Out of the bliss comes magic, wonderment, and creativity.

Speechless

Your love is magical, that’s how I feel 
But I have not the words here to explain 
Gone is the grace for expressions of passion 
But there are worlds and worlds of ways to explain 
To tell you how I feel 
But I am speechless, speechless 
That’s how you make me feel 
Though I’m with you I am far away and nothing is for real 
When I’m with you I am lost for words, I don’t know what to say 
My head’s spinning like a carousel, so silently I pray 
Helpless and hopeless, that’s how I feel inside 
Nothing’s real, but all is possible if God is on my side 
When I’m with you I am in the light where I cannot be found 
It’s as though I am standing in the place called Hallowed Ground 
Speechless, speechless, that’s how you make me feel 
Though I’m with you I am far away and nothing is for real 
I’ll go anywhere and do anything just to touch your face 
There’s no mountain high I cannot climb 
I’m humbled in your grace 
Speechless, speechless, that’s how you make me feel 
Though I’m with you I am lost for words and nothing is for real 
Speechless, speechless, that’s how you make me feel 
Though I’m with you I am far away, and nothing is for real 
Speechless, speechless, that’s how you make me feel 
Though I’m with you I am lost for words and nothing is for real 
SpeechlessYour love is magical, that’s how I feel 
But in your presence I am lost for words 
Words like, "I love you."
