A Thousand Words

Lost in an image like a ghost in time In ceremony of a last goodbye A lonely silhouette against a tortured sky I saw her in a photograph (photograph) She stood there broken, head in her hand A moment caught in time My god, how it's still haunting me Well, they say that a picture's worth a thousand words In the ache of an image, I have seen the worst Like a million screams for mercy that can't be unheard 'Cause in times like these, we must live and learn Where will I go when I can't right the wrongs? Who will I turn to where I don't belong? The things I took for granted way too long, oh, mmm There's so much left unsaid, I cannot ignore anymore Well, they say that a picture's worth a thousand words In the ache of an image, I have seen the worst Like a million screams for mercy that can't be unheard 'Cause in times like these, we must live and learn The image in my mind A cause for reason Haunts me day and night Impermanence we find Just like the seasons We fade out in due time Well, they say that a picture's worth a thousand words In the ache of an image, I have seen the worst Well, they say that a picture's worth a thousand words In the ache of an image, I have seen the worst Like a million screams for mercy that can't be unheard 'Cause in times like these, we must live and learn (oh, yeah) So I won't take for granted or speak out of turn 'Cause in times like these, we must live and learn In times like these, we must live and learn In times like these, we must live and learn
