One Word

With only one word

You took the ice out of the air again

And put the heat back in the sun again

With only one word

With only one word

You put the weapons of the world away

It's funny how one single thing you choose to say

Will change the world and then

It suddenly means something better

Every single thing I see, good or bad

You make it mean something better

Every pleasure, every pain

Every nightmare that I dream I dream

Make it mean something better

With only one word

You change the ending of a tragedy

And summon power from the injuries

With only one word

It's funny how one single thing you choose to say

Will change the world and then

It suddenly means something better

Every single thing I see, good or bad

You make it mean something better

Every pleasure, every pain

Every nightmare that I dream I dream

Make it mean something better

Every time that I can't make a sound

And I think that I'm starting to drown

Even when I try to take you down

Every time that I think I'm alone

And I can't find a word of my own

You take me home

And then you change the world again

With only one word

You took a war out of my history

It's funny how one single thing you choose to see

Could change the world

And give mine back to me so much better

Every single thing I see (better)

Every single thing I dream (better)

So much better

Every pleasure, every pain (better)

Every nightmare that I dream (I dream)

Make it mean something better

So much better
