Words, words, words in my old bible
How much of truth remains?
If I only understood them while my lips pronounced them
Would not my life be changed?

Words, words, words in Tom's old Declaration
How much of truth remains?
If I only understood them while my lips pronounced them
Would not my life be changed?

Words, words, words in my old songs and stories
How much of truth remains?
If I only understood them while my lips pronounced them
Would not my life be changed?

Words, words, words on cracked old pages
How much of truth remains?
If my mind could understand them
And if my life pronounced them
