Well said, Major Valor! I've just recently experienced it.

I went to an old folks' home about a week ago, with a small group of youngsters. There, we met some of the residents who are not so healthy either mentally or physically.

What I'm tryin to say is while I was there, I came across a tiny woman. Becoz of my incapability of tryin to strike a conversation with her , I was almost immediately reminded of this song. She couldn't understand me, neither could I understand her. But language wasn't all that, I then realised when she cupped my face.

"I'm wanting contact with you Shake those hands, shake those hands Give me the thing I understand"

The only we understood each other was the smilelines in each other's faces.
