the power of speech
what were those words that i tossed at you in an offhanded way
those words i'd been meaning to say for two thousand days
but you didn't recognize for the guise i put them through into eyes so blue
what was the meaning in the scheming that i'm dealing out and through
one simple thing that i've been talking about
what it can bring what can it bring up and out
the power of speech the power to teach
the power to spread your thoughts around
the power to preach the power to reach
the power to the power to the power to
the power to love stir and confound
the power to mix it all around
the power to bring your fruit to bear
and cast your seed everywhere
what were those words i heard them clearly and they nearly knocked me down
those words i'd been meaning to hear came into my ears dumbstruck by sound
but i didn't realize for the spies of the wise confounded my eyes so blue
what was the meaning in the scheming that i'm dealing out and through
one simple thing that you've been talking about
what it can bring what can it bring up and out
the power of speech the power to teach
the power to spread your thoughts around
the power to preach the power to reach
the power to the power to the power to
the power to take the world to task
and get back everything you ask
the power's in you the power's in me
the power's in everything we see
