Words can be quite powerful things
With all the emotion that they bring
They make descriptions more beautiful
They make your speech more powerful
It all lies in the choice of a word
To make the people believe what they've heard
My words are meant to inspire
Provoke a thought, light a fire
I want to move people to tears
Make them cheer or face their fears
Some folks may find it strange but I just want to make a change
In the world we live in today
Before I die and go away.
I also know that words can hurt
I can tell by your tear-stained shirt
So now be aware of what you've heard
And never underestimate the power of a word.
