Words

How extensive is your vocabulary?
Some words that are said are a mystery
I hear them, but don't understand what they say
They're in English, not foreign, so I don't mean that way

Words used as weapons can cut like a knife
And when used by a parent can ruin a child's life
Some words can be used to sweeten a lie
Others make you feel like you want to die

Words spoken in anger can bear deep consequence
Forcing a soul to serve long painful penance
Or things said by people you don't even know
But with them you can just tell them where they can go

Words spoken sweetly of love so divine
An intimate dinner with pasta and wine
A walk on the beach, where no words are spoken
Feel the sand in your toes, by the waves, silence broken

The power of words, depending on who says them
Can tear out ones heart, or be held precious like a gem
Will the word that you say hurt somebody today?
Or will they make everyone feel ok?
