lyrics

they say talk is cheap
and I’m inclined to agree
my belief
is that most people say nothing
when they speak
there’s no message to receive
just a need
for somebody to listen
but I say

words fade away
only the deeds remain
what really matters
the things you said you’d do
or the things that you did

when our words fade away
and only our actions stay
what’s gonna matter
the things you talked about
or the things you got done

so do what you want to do
because talking only proves
your lips can move
yeah it’s easy to say it
but hard to do
so when the moment comes for you
what will you choose
it’s a risk that you take
but I say

words fade away
only the deeds remain
what really matters
the things you said you’d do
or the things that you did

when our words fade away
and only our actions stay
what’s gonna matter
the things you talked about
or the things you got done
