A Thousand Words

Lost in an image like a ghost in time
In ceremony of a last goodbye
A lonely silhouette against a tortured sky
I saw her in a photograph (photograph)
She stood there broken, head in her hand
A moment caught in time
My god, how it's still haunting me

Well, they say that a picture's worth a thousand words
In the ache of an image, I have seen the worst
Like a million screams for mercy that can't be unheard
'Cause in times like these, we must live and learn

Where will I go when I can't right the wrongs?
Who will I turn to where I don't belong?
The things I took for granted way too long, oh, mmm
There's so much left unsaid, I cannot ignore anymore

Well, they say that a picture's worth a thousand words
In the ache of an image, I have seen the worst
Like a million screams for mercy that can't be unheard
'Cause in times like these, we must live and learn

The image in my mind
A cause for reason
Haunts me day and night
Impermanence we find
Just like the seasons
We fade out in due time

Well, they say that a picture's worth a thousand words
In the ache of an image, I have seen the worst
Well, they say that a picture's worth a thousand words
In the ache of an image, I have seen the worst

Like a million screams for mercy that can't be unheard
'Cause in times like these, we must live and learn (oh, yeah)
So I won't take for granted or speak out of turn
'Cause in times like these, we must live and learn

In times like these, we must live and learn
In times like these, we must live and learn
