One Straight Word (remix) lyrics

Watch your step with the whisper wind It's a poison well where the hearts begin to bend Distorted words like a crooked line Turning the gold of a trueborn 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 proof Trust will fade like a ghost in the Sun Leaving the work of a heart undone Leaving a heart undone Words have power, don't you guess 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 'em 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 proof Trust will fade like a ghost in the Sun Leaving the work of a heart undone Leaving a 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 spell Seek the face of the one you know
