There's a Difference
Sarah Rayan 1982 (Kuwait City)
There's a difference between wisdom and intelligence, and I bet you don't know it, and also a difference between the sun, moon, and stars, but the clouds don't always show it
And yet another difference, between a rock and a stone, but I bet it doesn't bother you, and though you may not end up alone, I can make all your dreams come true
And finally, another difference, between a promise and an oath, and I love you more than enough to be charged with violating both
Don't let me forget one more difference, between a river and a stream, and I bet you don't know how many times I pray to wake up on your team
