The word is not simply a scribbled symbol or a spoken sound 这个词是不是一个简单的符号字迹潦草或讲话声音

No, the word has power 不，这个词有电

And it can be your most trusted friend or your most terrible foe 它可以是您最值得信赖的朋友或你最可怕的敌人

You see like a seed, the word gives life 你看，就像一颗种子，这个词给人的生活

Like a lamp, the word gives light 就像一盏灯，这个词给人的光

Like a mirror the word reflects 就像一面镜子的话反映

Like water, the word washes 像水，字洗

Like fire, the word cleanses 像火，字洁净

Like a hammer, the word shatters 像一把锤子，字破碎

Like a sword, the word cuts 像一把利剑，字切

Oh but like medicine, the word heals 哦，但像医药，字愈合

And like a counselor, the word comforts 而像辅导员，这个词的舒适

You see the word is alive, and it is waiting 你看这个字是活的，它是等待

Waiting for you to summon it like a soldier, and send it into battle 等你召唤它像一个战士，然后将其发送上阵

So speak 所以说
