What's In A Word

Oh, yes it's hard, it's getting harder

To turn the cheek or just walk away

When all I see is degradation

Day after day

After day, after day, after day

I wanna fight, my hands are tied

My weapons are pitiful (Pitiful)

So much to learn, so much to lose

I've asked it before, so tell me once more

(What's in a word) more than you imagine

(What's in a word) more than I can say

(Once in a while) you can hear such a sweet sound

Chimes of freedom in your head

In your head, in your head

And while I slide down into darkness

You spent so proud, so proud in the light

Oh, help me please

I think I'm falling between wrong and right

Why give me strength, then speak at length

Of wisdom and tenderness (Tenderness)

So much to lose, so much to learn

I've asked it before, so tell me once more

(What's in a word) more than you imagine

(What's in a word) more than I can say

(Once in a while) you can hear such a sweet sound

Chimes of freedom in your head

(ooh)

I've heard that a new age's dawning

And I've heard that the die is cast

I know the word can be liberation

For a people free at last, free at last

Some give a damn,  some give their lives

Why can't we give peace a chance (Give peace a chance)

Put down that gun, a battle won without even a shot

Oh, dreamer I'm not

(What's in a word) more than you imagine

(What's in a word) more than I can say

(Once in a while) you can hear such a sweet sound

Chimes of freedom in your head

Yes, I've heard that a new age's dawning

And I've heard that the die is cast

I know the word can be liberation

For a people free at last, free at last

Free at last

Free at last

Free at last, free at last

Free at last

Free at last

Free at last

Free at last
