Tom has reason to be proud of each and every stanza of thought-provoking lyrics he has written...an excellent example of this inspired songwriting ability is seen in the lyrics of "If You Were A Word"...

If You Were a Word

If you were a word
You would be "orange"
If you were a word
You'd laugh as I try to find a rhyme
If you weren't around
I'd blame myself for missing
if you said I'd hit the road for good
Because you aren't a sound
And there’s no one left here
I am pacing
And you could take each step
And line them up around the world
I am waiting
Because I have yet to find the sound
That I have never heard
If you were a word
From the book of knowledge
All those who had a clue
Would writhe in their own puzzlement
If you were a sound
aren't chase the noise in hopes of finding
that familiar song again
Because you aren't around
And there’s no one left here
Next time
You should try an airplane or some other kind of risk
That way
You could face another day
And tell us what you've heard
If you were a word
you've catch me muttering over and over again
In my sleep
you've paint with broad strokes
And all you've see from left to right
And all you've see from left to right
Is orange
