V-1
YES, THE PEN IS MIGHTY THAN THE SWORD THEY SAY,
NOW, YOU KNOW WE FIND THAT TRUTH EVERY DAY.
AS BOOKS, MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS WE READ,
WAIT, AS OUR MINDS THEY TRY TO LEAD.
TELLING ALL KINDS OF THINGS,
AS DREAMS OR NIGHTMARES THEY BRING.
YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET,
THIS THE WRITTEN WORD DOESN'T LET YOU FORGET.
CHORUS
THE PEN IS MIGHTY THAN THE SWORD,
FOR IT KNOCKS YOU DOWN OR LETS YOU SOAR.
YES, EACH WRITTEN WORD,
IS PART, OF A LIE OR THE TRUTH: HEARD.
V-2
YES, THE SWORD AND WORD BOTH STAB, CUT OR KILL,
AND BOTH CAN CAUSE YOU HAPPINESS OR SADNESS TO FEEL.
YES EACH ONE CAN KNOCK YOU DOWN,
OR SOMETIME PICK YOU UP FROM THE GROUND.
YES, THE WRITTEN WORD FOR YOU CAN WORK,
OR THE WRITTEN WORD CAN BRING YOU HURT.
CHORUS
THE PEN IS MIGHTY THAN THE SWORD,
FOR IT KNOCKS YOU DOWN OR LETS YOU SOAR.
YES, EACH WRITTEN WORD,
IS PART, OF A LIE OR THE TRUTH: HEARD.
BRIDGE
YES, A SWORD CAN BE OF THE PAST,
WHILE A WRITTEN WORD CAN FOREVER LAST.
V-3
SO, SPREAD THE WORD, THE TRUTH HAS BEEN HEARD.
MIGHTY IS THE SWORD, BUT NOT AS MIGHTY AS THE WORD, FOR EACH WRITTEN WORD BY MOST WILL BE HEARD.
CHORUS
THE PEN IS MIGHTY THAN THE SWORD,
FOR IT KNOCKS YOU DOWN OR LETS YOU SOAR.
YES, EACH WRITTEN WORD,
IS PART, OF A LIE OR THE TRUTH: HEARD.
YES, EACH WRITTEN WORD,
IS PART, OF A LIE OR THE TRUTH: HEARD.
