Lyric Fire: Words Are Power!

words are power

spoken or written

they can form a steel tower

so lofty and flighty

you think you can climb them

then you wake up the next day

and you can't even find them

 

how can something so strong in meaning

and beautiful in a verse

cut you so deep that they can make your heart hurt?

 

why? huh? you say you can't understand

how words you can't touch can break a woman?

 

well let me tell you like this

remember the song that was playing when you had your first kiss?

uh-huh - of course you do

music composed with words live inside of you

they seep into your blood stream

and survive forever in your system

they color up your memories and make your soul perk up and listen

 

still don't get it?

still can't see the vision?

that's cool, it's all love

yeah, that's peace

it's cool as a fan 

and sizzling hot like chicken grease

 

but just know that we communicate with words

hugs are cool 

touches are great

but without words an embrace can dissipate

letters linger, massage and caress

settle in your inner

like birds chill in a nest

 

so the next time you get close and want to profess your like

remember that your words have a helluva might

they have more strength than you can imagine

it's like a crowd filled with fans and Common is rapping

 

they can be hypnotic and leave you in a daze

make you weak, give you hope and sunny up your day

 

words can also break your world

leave you naked in a desert amidst the dust swirls

 

but as long as you believe in the power you have within

words will never destroy your spirit or will

because you can rearrange those same words to help you heal

and that's real! 

 

peace!
