[Verse 1]
I've only heard a few stories
Really only seen a few works
Tractor paints on plywood
Covered with verse
You see so much
I see not much at all
But we're treading down serpents
And we're breaking the fall

[Chorus]
If a picture's worth a thousand words
What I've seen is what I've heard
While the image writhes, flickers on the screen
The distance grows wide between the glory and the dream

[Verse 2]
You may be out there on the river
With your bridges all burned
Cannot swim a stroke
'Cause you never learn, you never learn
Sure, some wear it like a badge
Or a noose around their neck
But call me home early, Lord
I swear there's nothing to protect
[Chorus]
If a picture's worth a thousand words
What I've seen is what I've heard
While the image writhes, flickers on the screen
The distance grows wide between the glory and the dream

[Verse 1]
I've only heard a few stories
I've only seen a few works
Tractor paints on plywood
Covered up with Bible verse
You see so much
I see not much at all
But we're treading down serpents
And we're breaking the fall

[Chorus]
If a picture's worth a thousand words
What I've seen is what I've heard
While the image writhes and flickers on the screen
The distance grows wide between the glory and the dream

[Outro]
And the dream, yeah
