[Verse 1]
Words, words, words
In my old Bible
How much truth remains?

[Refrain]
If I only understood them
While my lips pronounced them
Would not my life be changed?

[Verse 2]
Words, words, words
In the Declaration
How much truth remains?

[Refrain]
If I only understood them
While my lips pronounced them
Would not my life be changed?

[Verse 3]
Words, words, words
In old songs and stories
How much truth remains?

[Refrain]
If I only understood them
While my lips pronounced them
Would not my life be changed?
[Verse 4]
Words, words, words
On cracked old pages
How much truth remains?

[Refrain]
If my mind could understand them
And if my life pronounced them
Would not this world be changed?
Would not this world be changed?
