Songtext von One Straight Word

Watch your step with a whisper wind It's a poison well where the hearts begin to fend Distorted words like a crooked line Turning the gold of a true-born heart into grime It makes you hate a heart that's clean and bright And gives a liar a crown of light Oh, beware the talk that twists the truth It's the wrecking ball of youth and truth Trust will fade like a ghost in the Sun Leaving the work of the heart undone Leaving the heart undone Words have power, don't you get the cost? In the halls of rumor, everything is lost Seek the truth like a diamond in the rough One straight word is always enough Go to the one, look them in the eye And let the dark of the gossip die Oh, beware the talk that twists the truth It's the wrecking ball of youth and truth Trust will fade like a ghost in the Sun Leaving the work of the heart undone Leaving the heart undone Gossip builds a wall of stone In a cycle where you're all alone But a word of truth can tear it down And take the fake right off their crown Words have power, choose them well Don't let a lie cast a shadow, a spell Seek the face of the one you know
