One woman tried to cut her wrists -
She hid it from the gossips and they said
Goodbye - there's not been enough dinners
for us to stay -
You must pay for our friendship with your bread.
One man camps at night in the pouring rain
He wants to save a few more dollars today
But when he gets home, he hears how they
told his wife how he -
Spends all his time away on drink and play.
Look at the swan, gliding there
Every graceful, ever fair
She sits serene on a sea of glass -
But underneath, the feet are paddling fast.
One woman had a friend, dark and disturbed
And the darkness could not bear to gaze upon the light
So she told her she was ugly, broken and unformed, tore
her down until -
That once shining beauty disappeared into the night.
One man has a wife who dies a little every day
He carries the weight of both their worlds forever
And others watch and wait and say that he's too sombre
for them to ever agree -
Never knowing he's given up praying for her to be set free.
Look at the swan, gliding there
Every graceful, ever fair
She sits serene on a sea of glass -
But underneath, the feet are paddling fast.
'But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.'
James 3:8
