A Simple Word

Live by our actions

They'll see who we are

But when they're never askin'

Who's gonna raise the bar?

 

They'll see our good?

An attempt, I'll admit

But you're foolin' yourself

You're nothin' but a hypocrite.

 

What makes us better?

"Holier than thou"?

We've never been loud

So go on, take your vow.

 

Actions speak louder than words

Except when those actions don't speak

So give those motions a voice

And be there for those who seek.
