A word is but a word Written by Heavily Armored Hamster There was something... A few words, a sentence... That I once considered Saying to you But reconsidered It's not that I didn't want to Say those words on my mind On the contrary, I really did... Time just didn't seem right If you can understand These words, they won't change A word is always a word A thought is always a thought You can't change that No, You can never change that I'll tell you some day I'll tell you what I was thinking What I still am thinking Some day, far into the future... Or maybe not quite that far We have a lot of time We're in this life For a time seemingly endless We have plenty of time to grow Why rush these words now? Someday, I think Someday these words -Which will still be words Will grow meanings -Which change over time Right now, if I were to say... Say that... Say those thoughts I don't think the meaning Would be quite as strong So I'll keep them to myself Let them grow and age with time Some day, maybe I won't need to say them Because they'll be sparkling Maybe they'll grow so strong That you feel it too Maybe the meaning Ripe with age at last Will come forth and encompass us But... That's a little ways away There's no need to rush Meanings or even words We have a long way to go...
