SONG LYRICS
Words, words, can't get past the words
Phrases like forests, mazes of meanings
Masks for our faces, pillows for dreaming

Words, words so crowded with words
Stuffed into spaces erasing the wonder
Weeds in the garden choking us under

We keep building bridges across dangerous rivers
With words that keep bending and breaking in two
Stuck on our islands all huddled and frightened
Lonely and trying to be heard
Screaming out nothing but words

Words, Words carnival words
Nuanced and plastic, frowning and grinning
Multiple facets, weather vanes spinning

Words, words, spirograph words
Campfires dancing, northern lights weaving
Kaleidoscopes tumbling, ocean waves breathing

We keep building bridges across dangerous rivers
With words that keep bending and breaking in two
Stuck on our islands all huddled and frightened
Lonely and trying to be heard
Screaming out nothing but words
