What’s In A Word Lyrics by The Christians

Happy in Hell

0

Oh yes, it's hard, it's getting harder
To turn the cheek or just walk away
When all I see is degradation day after day
(Day after day after day after day after day)
I wanna fight, my hands are tied
My weapons are pitiful
And all that's left, one troubled mind
One timid voice
Such a desperate noise
(What's in a word) More than you imagine
(What's in a word) More than I can say
(Once in a while) You can hear such sweet sounds
Freedom's singing in your head, in your head
And while I slide down into darkness
You stand so proud, so proud in the light
Oh, help me, please, I think I'm falling
Between wrong and right
Why give me strength then speak at length
Of wisdom and tenderness (Tenderness)
So much to learn, so much to lose
I've asked it before, oh, tell me once more
(What's in a word) More than you imagine
(What's in a word) More than I can say
(Once in a while) You can hear such sweet sounds
Chimes of freedom in your head
Yes, I have heard there's a new age dawning
And I have heard that the die is cast
I know the word can be "liberation"
For a people free at last, free at last
Some give a damn, some give their lives
Why can't we give peace a chance (Give peace a chance)
Put down that gun, a battle won without even a shot
Oh, a dreamer I'm not
(What's in a word) More than you imagine
(What's in a word) More than I can say
(Once in a while) You can hear such sweet sounds
Freedom's singing in your head
Yes, I have heard there's a new age dawning
And I have heard that the die is cast
I know the word can be "liberation"
For a people, free at last
What's in a word, woh oh
(What's in a word)
(What's in a word, liberation)
I can hear such sweet sound singing in you head
Free at last
