Four Letter Word

FOUR LETTER WORD
©Jim Molinelli

[Verse 1]
He hits the floor before the sun is up,
Pours the bitter blackness in his cup,
He’s just a ghost inside a suit and tie,
With a heavy heart and a tired eye...
His four-letter word is... WORK.


[Chorus]
If you need a four letter cure for a four letter fight,
LOVE is the word that can make it right.
Our four letter word is "love".
Our four letter word is "love".

[Verse 2]
She stares at numbers on a glowing screen,
Trying to find some space in between,
The stack of envelopes there by her door,
Is always demanding more and more...
Her four-letter word is... DEBT.

[Chorus]
If you need a four letter cure for a four letter fight,
LOVE is the word that can make it right.
Our four letter word is "love".
Our four letter word is "love"...

[Verse 3]
They shout across the digital divide,
With a phony and bitter sense of pride,
Turning every neighbor into a foe,
There’s nowhere left for anyone to go...
Their four-letter word is HATE.

[Chorus]
If you need a four letter cure for a four letter fight,
LOVE is the word that can make it right.
Our four letter word is "love".
Our four letter word is "love"...

[Bridge]
It’s easy to point, it’s easy to blame.
We think that we’re playing a different game.
But while we're alive, the time that we spend,
Depends on the words that we choose in the end.

[Verse 4]
So we reach for a hand, we plant a new seed.
We give out the help that another may need.
We’re holding up hope like a bright search light,
Burning a hole through the darkest of nights...
...Our four-letter word is "love"!

[Chorus]
If you need a four letter cure for a four letter fight,
LOVE is the word that can make it right.
Our four letter word is "love".
Our four letter word is "love"...

If you need a four letter cure for a four letter fight,
LOVE is the word that can make it right.
Our four letter word is "love".
Our four letter word is "love"...

Love is the word that can make it right.
