Someone once wrote a word.
I read it in my mind.
Someone once wrote a word.
It I never did find.

Somebody once did sing a song,
At once, I begun to sing along.
Somebody once wrote a song.
It never left their mind.

Somebody once did scream in fear,
I gasped, I cared, I felt so near.
Somebody did once cry in pain.
Alone, they wept, their tears like rain.

A person wrote a poem to me.
'A word,' I said, 'well, now I see.'
