lyrics

i light my way
with words that shine like diamonds
and who's to say
that they won't cut the same

i hold them up
i use them like a beacon
illuminate my path
keep a course through driving rain

letters fall like showers
that i catch and re-arrange
and the words become my armour
a skin of solid steel
and the words describe my life time
creating fantasy and real
these are my words
these are my words

i build a wall
and every brick a story
there's so more to tell
and so much more to build

and the cement
that holds it all together
is yet more tales
until every crack is filled

letters fall like showers
that i catch and re-arrange
and the words become my armour
a skin of solid steel
and the words describe my life time
creating fantasy and real
these are my words
these are my words

every day i'm here
the words pour from my tongue
some i've worn and some i've not
and some i've only sung
my head is filled with language
the words that shape my world
i'll hoist them up the flagpole
see my banner there unfurled

i'll keep a word
a word that's just for you
i'll keep it short
but you'll know what i mean

it's got shine
and all the beauty you could need
and it's got life
love is all there's ever been

letters fall like showers
that i catch and re-arrange
and the words become my armour
a skin of solid steel
and the words describe my life time
creating fantasy and real
these are my words
these are my words
