The Christians – What’s In A Word – 1992

    Paroles

    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

    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

    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

    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
