In a Word...

In a word life is never simple
In a phrase life is only pain
In a sentence there is only death in this world
In a song... what can I say?

In a word I am simply foolish
In a phrase I'm a crazy freak
In a sentence I am all but dead to this world
In a song... there's not much to say.

There's a word I cannot remember
There's a phrase that means the world to me
There's a sentence that means little to the world
There's a song... but what does it say?

I'm a fool to forget so much beauty
I'm a fool to forget what it means
I'm a fool who's got nothing to offer
Here's my song... good luck finding meaning.

In a word I'm surrounded by people
In a phrase people see what they will see
In a sentence people only love what they want to
In a song... people don't listen

There's a word I cannot remember
There's a phrase that means the world to me
There's a sentence that means little to the world
There's a song... but what does it say?

Does it say we are all stupid?
Does it say what on earth were you thinking?
Does it say you have forgotten your first love?
What does it say? Here's what I think:

It says that we are all loved by someone.
It says that we can't all be the same.
It says that we all have something to offer
It says that we all have one name.

In a word life is never simple
In a phrase life is often pain
In a sentence there is always death in this world
In a song... how can I say?

There's a word I have just remembered
There's a phrase, it means the world to me
There's a sentence that means little to the world
There's this song... But it's not the answer

In this world you have to love someone
In this world there's no time for hate
In this world that has so much to offer
We must find our own way to speak.
