If I could have the words to change
to speak into the world would they fly
I wonder if they'd put them in a jeweled box for sale


Chorus 1
but I need to strengthen the things that remain

it's sad but true
beauty never selled(s)
in everything the same, it's true

it's sad but true

I want give in to what they want

or has the window closed any way
between the world they want to hear
and what they love me to say


Chorus 2
but I need to strengthen the things that remain

it's sad but true
beauty never selled(s)
money makes the rules, it's true

it's sad but true

one of these days something will break through

I want to
but I wait a whole world,
but I wait a whole world


it's sad but true
it's sad but true
