lyrics

Finding the right phrases
Is a gift of greater graces
Knowing terminology
Digging the foundation of etymology
Words link us to the past
In a way that makes us last
And help us towards a future
With a vocab that is superlative
A well-placed remark
Can be the inspiration to embark
On the journey to our full expression
A crazy abstraction or a focused lesson
Where we learn to couch
Or vitally to vouch
For something we believe in
Karl Marx or Sufjan Stevens
The vegetation of our verbiage
Like a garden filled with herbage
With butterflies that flutter
With each magical word we utter
Wordsworthian or Confucian
The peace and wisdom of locution
The battles that we fight
With each combative word we write
Giving every choice
A mellifluous sort of voice
History or psychology
With the perfect phraseology
Taking from the wreckage
An influential message
Or praising things fantastic
With sentences elastic
You can start at any time
Put compelling thoughts to prose or rhyme
And it continues on forever
Goes from simplest to clever
There’re many ways to fill your life
To diagram through pleasure and plight
But words might be the best
Especially with the word that’s blessed
