Words (lyrics)

I used to dream that I could write a song where I could say
All the things I ever wanted to
Now I’ve found the tune and all the words have gone away
What can you do?
 
Think about it
It really is absurd
Think about it
What’s in a word?
 
Are words all we have to make our meaning understood
Sounds with which we try to paint a scene?
Sometimes we make a point and other times we wish we could
Say what we mean.
 
What about the silence
In which we wrap the words?
It’s full of meaning
Waiting to be heard.
 
Listen to your soul and let the silence form your thoughts
And shape the world you move through every day.
Take care of the sense and the sounds will take care of themselves
You’ll say what you mean
When you mean what you say.
