a word can go a pretty long way
it can save the day
it can mend a way
it can fill a heart
and keep the blues away
a voice can be a powerful thing
with the sound it makes
it illuminates
that we’re not alone
when you hear its sound
when the word and the voice meets
meaning does appear
and out of the magic
a story becomes clear
do you know where the stories come from
they are born within the hearts and minds
of folk who lived and seen some things
and how does a story find its wings
from where it’s thought to where you are
language is the key that unlocks everything
unlock the magic
and the meaning will appear
and out of the magic
a story becomes clear
the world today is a very hard place
there are wars and fighting everywhere
but in these times of fright and fear
all the more the need to disappear
into the story
into the magic
into the mystery
into the language
where a new world will appear
and out of the magic
a story becomes clear
unlock the magic
and the meaning will appear
and out of the magic
a story becomes clear
life can change in a meaningful way
when a word is said
a thought is read
a move is made
or a game is played
where were you when the lights came up
where you in your head
far away
still at play in the author’s pen
do you know where the stories go
when it’s said and done
and we had our fun
everyone a life of its own
a day in the sun
or a trip to the moon
The stories live ons
long after we’ve gone
stronger than iron
tougher than lions
over than mountains
they flourish like fountains
the bring us together
makes sense of forever
they’re making us clever
the spread like a fire
they’re make us one
they tie us together
in this story we are one
