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

Other are 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

Friends take care of what you're saying

Be sure of what you like to hear

Remember it when you are praying

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 some

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

Friends take care of what you're saying

Be sure of what you like to hear

Remember it when you are praying

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

Friends take care of what you're saying

Be sure of what you like to hear

Remember it when you are praying

Ask for anything but make it clear

Ask for anything but make it clear
