   each little step
   doing its part
   along with the thousand others
   to get me where
   I need to be

   You can tell me
   and you can tell me
   and you can tell
   me and you can
   tell me and
   you can tell
   me and you
   can tell
   me and
   you
   can
   tell
   me;
   I tell you
   You can tell me a thousand times
   and I still won’t know it until
   you throw away your words
   and stop for a moment
   and touch my arm
   and look into my eyes
   and say it.
   That will show it.

   And then ten years later when there are
   dirty dishes and a crying
   baby, and multiplication tables
   to be reviewed,
   and we have no money,
   if I am fighting the wind
   and you are fighting the wind
   and both of us are still fighting the wind
   but I have my hand in your hand
   and your hand in my hand
   then you won’t have to tell me with words
   because I’ll still know it.

   I’ve attempted so many times
   to commit a thousand crimes.
   But before I even begin
   someone always turns me in.

   A thousand times
   I’ve said I won’t.
   Don’t do it, man!
   Don’t, don’t, don’t!

   But my will is weak,
   my supporters few,
   and I go back to doing
   what I always do.

   Thousand

   A thousand eyes,
   Cry two thousand tears.
   They weep for the broken,
   The lost and forsaken.
   A thousand hearts,
   Bleed two thousand lives.
   They are broken and bleeding,
   Living but unused.
   A thouand ears,
   Listen two thousand times.
   They are alert and focused,
   To hear the saddening tales.
   A thousand lives,
   Die two thousand deaths.
   They fall for their country,
   To save the lives of others.
   A thousand graves,
   Hold two thousand souls.
   They hold the soldier and his honor,
   For the rest of eternity.

   A thousand ways to say i do
   A thousand ways to say its true
   A thousand ways just me and you
   A thousand eyes that sit and cry
   A thousand hearts that lie and die
