It's Only Words - Simple Words

If words were a cover I could wrap you up tight and keep you safe and warm

If words were gold I could make you wealthy as a king on his throne

If words were light I could show you the way through the darkness

If words were food I could make sure you never went hungry

If words were colors I could give you a rainbow that never ended

If words were rain I could shower you with cool droplets on a warm day

If words were love I could give you more than you would ever need

But words are none of these things

Yet words are all I have given to you

And that makes me sad...
