Words are untouchable things br Syllables of shining gold br Lively grave can words be br And cherished by the young and old br br Words shine in pools of sun br And bask in walls of hate br They cover the world in love br Love for the live and the late br br Words light up midnight blackness br As beacons in the dark br They rid the world of misery br Yet have before torn it apart br br Words are artworks in the making br Of brilliant quality paints br Words are muderous and spiteful br Though they're lovers, teachers and saints br br Words can start a war br With they're violent hurtful fist br They can punch a hole through a heart br With a painful remark hissed br br But words can beg forgiveness br And mend a swollen soul br They can fix a broken heart br And fill a bottomless hole br br A life without words br Would be no life at all br So listen to mine now br As it's you that home I callbr br Caitlin Donovanbr br
