Life is like a story where
Days are pages in a book
Down in dirt or glory:
It all depends on what you gave and took
Some are blessed with love and money
Others not blessed at all
Among a million people
There's a million different ways
To stay or fall

Talk can lead to war games
Where words are bullets in a gun
"Power" is the big name burning
Like the hot beams from the sun

Ref
Friends take care of what you're sayin'
Be sure of what you like to hear
Remember it when you are prayin'
Ask for anything but make it clear
Ask for anything but make it clear

The past is a recording
Just like the songs on this disk
The past is always greedy:
Listen if you dare to take the risk
You'll find songs of love and hate
And songs that make you smile or crack
Among a million songs
There's a million different ways
Of looking back

Words can have you jump or go flying
Words can knock you to the floor
There are as many sentences
As reasons why we go to war

Ref
Friends take care of what you're sayin'
Be sure of what you like to hear
Remember it when you are prayin'
Ask for anything but make it clear
Ask for anything but make it clear

Talk can lead to war games
Where words are bullets in a gun
"Power" is the big name burning
Like the hot beams from the sun

Ref
Friends take care of what you're sayin'
Be sure of what you like to hear
Remember it when you are prayin'
Ask for anything but make it clear
Ask for anything but make it clear
