[written in Paris, France]
Only songs...
can make you feel this way,
with help you believe the extraordinary,
like the pain of living away,
show you rainbows in the shadows,
only songs...
can end a war to end humanity,
free you from responsibility,
describe all that I am thinking,
uncover the way you ought to be,
only songs...
can let a million children die,
burn others for their beliefs,
starve the men in the street,
kill without regard for life,
only songs...
are what resides in the mind of a man.
