Now that you've listened to the song one time, let's look at the words in more detail. Here's a vocabulary test. These are words from the song. Try to type the letter of the correct definition into the box on the left of each word.

whisper A. had the same experience
sigh B. lower your head because of a negative emotion
hang you head C. breathe loudly to express weariness, grief, or relief
take it bad D. say something false; untrue
been there E. speak very quietly
above F. improved; a good change
