Those lyrics aren't entirely correct. You can almost always trust lyricmania.com, which has better lyrics for these songs, still not perfect, but better. I copied and pasted them and made notes about some of the stuff, and fixed their one or two mistakes.

Edit: Well, I looked again, and someone must have updated the animelyrics.com site because they're much better than they were when I looked at them some time ago. Still not as good as these, but very close.

1000 Words

I know that you're hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily
I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You fight your battles far from me
Far too easily

"Save your tears, 'cause I'll come back"
I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door
But still I swore
To hide the pain when I turned back the pages
Shouting might have been the answer
What if I'd cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart?
But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart

(The FMV skips from here to the second chorus)

Though a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
Crossing over the time and distant holding you
Suspended on silver wings

And a thousand words
One thousand confessions
Will cradle you
Making all of the pain you feel seem far away
They'll hold you forever

The dream isn't over yet
Though I often say I can forget
I still relive that day
You've been there with me all the way
I still hear you say

"Wait for me, I'll write you letters"
I could see how you stammered with your eyes to the floor
But still I swore
To hide the doubt when I turned back the pages
Anger might have been the answer
What if I'd hung my head and said that I couldn't wait?
But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late

'Cause a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll fly to you
Even though I can't see (in the the orchestral version, the "I" is "we", for some reason)
I know there reaching you
Suspended on silver wings

Oh a thousand words
One thousand embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of your weary days seem far away
They'll hold you forever

Oh a thousand words (A thousand words)
Have never been spoken (Oh yeah)
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home and back into my arms (Carry you home)
Suspended on silver wings (Original: On silver wings) (Orchestral: Ohhh)

And a thousand words (Oh)
Call out through the ages (Call through the ages)
They'll cradle you (Oh yeah)
Turning all of the lonely years to only days (Only days)
They'll hold you forever (Ooohhhhh)

A thousand words (This last line is not in the orchestral version)

(In the orchestral version, there is no ad libbing in the final chorus except the one I specified. The orchestral version doesn't have the hint of background vocals in the chorus as the original does. And the orchestral version is sung with slightly stronger vocals than in the original, especially with the final chorus.)

real Emotion

What can I do for you?

What can I do for you? (Three times)
I can hear you
What can I do for you? (Three times)

Far beyond the hazy borders of my heart
I could see a place that's something like this
Every now and then I don't know what to do
Still I know that I can never go back

But the things I've seen
In those hazy dreams
Can't compare to what I'm seein' now
Everything's so different
That it brings me to my knees

And though I know
The world of real emotion has surrounded me
I won't give into it
Now I know
That forward is the only way my heart can go
I hear your voice calling out to me
"You'll never be alone"

(The FMV skips from here to the guitar solo in the middle of the "What can I do for you? (Six times)")

What can I do for you? (Three times)
I can hear you
What can I do for you? (Three times)

I don't plan on looking back on my old life
I don't ever plan to rely on you
Even if by chance everything should go wrong
You'd come anyway and try to save me

Though from time to time
It's an upward climb
All I know is that I must believe
'Cause the truth I'm seeking
Always was inside of me

And when I find
The world of real emotion has surrounded me
The many things that you taught me then
Will always be enough to get me through the pain
Because of you I am strong enough
To know I'm not alone

What can I do for you? (Six times)
I can hear you

And if I find
The real world of emotion has surrounded me
And I can't go on
You are there
The moment that I close my eyes to comfort me
We are connected for all of time
I'll never be...

And though, I know
The world of real emotion has surrounded me
I won't give into it
Now I know
That forward is the only way my heart can go
I hear your voice calling out to me
"You'll never be alone"

What can I do for you? (Three times) (These are not in the FMV)
I can hear you lalalalalalalalalalalalalaa(Or this)
What can I do for you? (Three times)
I can hear you
I can hear you
