When

When I put pen to paper
What I’m trying to achieve
Is with the words I’m writing
To make you to believe

You feel the pain I’m feeling
Or I have felt before
Would give me satisfaction
And thrill me to the core

To have you feel my pain inside
When my dearest love I lost
Or to feel my great elation
When I had loved the most

To share my cries of sadness
When my dear dog she died
And how I miss her presence
As she never left my side

I want you to see my happiness
Also my shouts of joy
When I was young at Christmas
Playing with my new toy

I want to show you inside
The person that I am
Who loves the world around him
Every woman child and man

I want us all to join hands
And swear a pledge today
To end the troubles in the world
So I can put my pen away

The pen is my weapon And a place to lay my head It's my breakfast in the morning It'll be my tombstone when I'm dead Lets put away the troubles But not your pen my friend
