I've Seen the Word Lyrics

I've seen people laughing in churchyards
Screaming and shouting in my, in my backyard
And I don't know where they're going to
And I don't care if you, if you don't know

And I've seen words written in clouds above
Never told me that I have lost your love
I said I'd take more care of you
It never stopped the sky and me from feeling blue

I've seen the word
I've seen the word
I guess you've heard
I've seen the word

And I've seen people laughing in pain
And I've seen people crying in the rain
And I've seen people laughing in pain

And I've seen the word
I've seen the word
I guess you've heard
I've seen the word

I've seen
I've seen the word
I've seen the word
I've seen the word

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
