Lyrics

War is raging all around.
Shots ring out in the bloody battle.
Children weep as they’re hunkered down.
But I can’t watch this and eat; so, I change the channel.

Culturally apathetic, I was raised on the fat of the land.
I can’t imagine the shoes those people wear…
Their suffering, I can’t understand.

So I’ll send some money to the mission
And it’ll make me feel a little better, but

Words just aren’t enough.
Pour on the money – it just makes a puddle of mud.
It doesn’t work without love; it takes a whole lot of love,
Because Words just aren’t enough.

I meant to make it up to see you last night,
But I just had too many things to do.
I know this is a hard time in your life, but
Rest assured, I’ve been thinking of you.

And when you get to feel a little better
Maybe we can try and get together…the

Words just aren’t enough.
Pour on the money – it just makes a puddle of mud.
It doesn’t work without love; it takes a whole lot of love,
Because Words just aren’t enough.

I can feel so empty. Way down, deep inside.
There’s a spirit to guide me, but I have let it die.
But in the back of my mind, it’s just a matter of time,
Then I’m going to find my drive.
It’ll rise up above me & will hover around me
And I, in turn, will learn that…

Words just aren’t enough.
Pour on the money – it just makes a puddle of mud.
It doesn’t work without love; it takes a whole lot of love,
Because Words just aren’t enough.
