This was something that all of us worked a little on some time in ninth grade, when our exhaustion with the language of speech was at its most for that year. We hope that someday we'll get around to turning it into a song, and sharing that on YouTube.

I have known things that words cannot express, and they were things before their time.
I have known things that I can’t describe, and I am not ashamed of this,
For words are not all.
Words are not all that we have known.
Words are not all there is to learn.
Words are not all that we’ve become.
Some know there is more to life, after all is said and done.
Why do we try to fit the vastness of what we all have lived
Into these sounds that somehow have meaning, and shut out those who don’t use them?
How is it now, that words so unclear, are demanded as a bridge
Between ourselves and others like us, when life is an experience,
And words are not all.
Words are not all that we have known.
Words are not all there is to learn.
Words are not all that we’ve become.
Some know there is more to life, after all is said and done.
