ELDER STUDENT CHORUS
Anders Edenroth (b. 1963)

Noah Dokko Stein, conductor

lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Words
A letter and a letter on a string
Will hold forever humanity spellbound
Words
Possession of the beggar and the king
Everybody, everyday
You and I, we all can say
Words
Regarded as a complicated tool
Created by man, implicated by mankind
Words
Obsession of the genius and the fool
Everybody, everyday
Everywhere and everyway

[Chorus:]
Words!
Find them, you can use them
Say them, you can hear them
Write them, you can read them
Love them, fear them

[Verse 2:]
Words
Transmitted as we're fitted from the start
Received by all and we're sentenced to a life with
Words
Impression of the stupid and the smart
Everybody, everyday
You and I, we all can say
Words
Inside your head can come alive as they're said
Softly, loudly, modestly or proudly
Words
Expression by the living and the dead
Everybody, everyday
Everywhere and every way
(Oh words...)

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Words
A letter and a letter on a string
Words
Possession of the beggar and the king
Words
Regarded as a complicated tool
Words
Obsession of the genius and the fool
Words
Transmitted as we're fitted from the start
Words
Impression of the stupid and the smart
Words
Inside your head can come alive as they're said
Words
Expression by the living and the dead
You talk and I talk, we talk and they talk
Find them, use them
Say them, hear them
Write them, read them
Love them, fear them

[Chorus]
