Lyrics enhance music and help listeners interpret a story. Words complement the music. A great song would be one that entrails a person and that holds many dynamics. If used correctly, words are used to place meaning and to enhance the piece. When used incorrectly, it can give off a negative notion.

eye-opening video. I never really saw our education system as a factory line till Sir Ken Robinson pointed it out but it makes sense. I do agree with him the education system is stopping divergent thinking even earlier now. Curiosity, creativity and imagination is what childhood is about.
