What's in a Word? Songtext

von The Christians

Oh yes It's hard, It's getting harder
To turn the cheek, or walk away
When all I see is degradation, day after day
I wanna fight, my hands are tied,
My weapons are pitiful.
All that's left, one troubled mind, one timid voice

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 sweet sounds
Freedom singing in your head... in your head.

And while I slide down into darkness,
You stand so proud up 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
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 sweet sounds
Chimes of freedom in your head
Yes I have 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
Put down that gun, a battle won without
Even a shot, oh a 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 sweet sounds
Freedom singing in your head...
Yes I have heard there's a new age dawning
And I have heard that the die is cast
I know the word can be ''LIBERATION''
For a people, free at last...
What's in a worrrrrrrrrrrrd
