The pen is more powerful than the sword
And its power can be felt in every word
......What is written on the printed page
Is a record to be kept for every age
A word fitly spoken is like an apple of gold
Who would dare trust in one’s word we are told
Put it on paper and let’s send it abroad
It will cut far deeper than the sharpest sword
A bottle all corked up floats on the sea
But with nothing inside it, it’s really empty
But seal a written note in this bottle afloat
And those who receive it will take careful note
So a pen put to paper is a mighty sword
It’ll cut far deeper than the sharpest sword
And when life is over and we are laid to rest
The precious word writ on paper will always be read
