"Yes"

when life's empty

'cause

your soul's dying

and  promise

for it to live

so far away

as it doesn't

want to complain

an answer is all

what it needs

one that again

will make it strong

and able to compete

if nothing else

it's the only way

to stand your ground

and defeat its defeat

do what has to be done

that will make you whole

if not

completely complete

put your question

to the test

speak the words

you need to speak

you have nothing 

to lose

when

"yes "

is the only word

you wil want to

hear on her breath

when she speaks
