These Few Words
With these few words I must convey
A lifetime
A faith
A chapter, a verse
A gift from a curse
Just these few words
With these few words I'll keep the peace
A lifeline
A death
A declaration of war
With these few words
A sound bite from the stage
To make a change or turn the page
And these words will fall like rain
Again and again
With these few words
I'll make a start
A symbol
A pledge
Give me your heart
We'll never part
With these few words
With these few words
I will explain
Unburdened last breath
And all the noise will fade away
Just these few words
In every scene
Every realisation of every dream
Every second of the day
In every nightmare
Every survivor's vacant stare
We'll find the right words to say
With these few words
You announce an arrival
A joy, an innocent
An excuse to be tribal
Just these few words
You invoke a higher power
Divine or malevolent
The hanged man and the tower
In the right place at the right time
They will take to the wind
Relay them and replay them
Watch them spin
Again and again
With these few words
We all decay a little each day
And we've heard them all before, these few words...
