4 letter word


It's a cold, cold summer's winter
It's a day as dark as night
It's the hottest heat in December
It's the blindest part of sight

It's what you hear in your head when you're all alone
It's the honest part in you
It's the smallest thing makes you feel so large
And it leaves you all confused

It makes a soldier of a coward
Makes the bravest man cry
It makes death feel like heaven
And makes you scared to die

It's all for just a 4 letter word
A simple 4 letter word

. . .


It's the coldest part of a heart so warm
It's a dark as bright as day
It's alive in the ones that feel good is gone
And it carries you away

It's what you hear in your heart when you're all alone
It's the evil part in you
It's the smallest thing makes you feel so tall
But it's got you all confused

It makes a soldier look like a coward
Makes the weakest think they're brave
With it no one enters heaven
Sends you to an early grave

It's all for just a 4 letter word
A simple 4 letter word
