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
 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
