Once upon a time they say
Or happily ever after
The moral of the story is
That every word does matter

Nouns and verbs and adjectives
Are just building blocks to me
It’s the magic of the words themselves
That makes me want to read

[Chorus]
Fairytales and mysteries
Adventure books and ghost stories
A world of words on every page
Where imagination sets the stage
Novels that are big and small
With practice you can read them all

Each and every book I read
Has a life of its own
The first word only plants the seed
For each story or poem

A book is more than just a thing
It’s like a newfound friend
That I visit every day
Until I reach the end

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
A world of words
Inside my head
With every page I read
Words guide me through
Familiar and new
Both real and make-believe

Once upon a time they say
Or happily ever after
The moral of the story is
That every word does matter

Nouns and verbs and adjectives
Are just building blocks to me
It’s the magic of the words themselves
That makes me want to read
