lyrics

I see your lips moving
But I don't hear a word you speak
I'm accustomed to this existence
But it hasn't always been this way
My mother told me when I was young
Son if you really want to know a man watch the things he's done

The blind man hears the words you say
And the deaf man sees the things you do
But do they know the same man
Or are they both just being fooled
if we don’t have integrity
then what else do we have
a building with poor structure
simply wil not stand

I’ve spent my years listening
trying to hear an honest face
sometimes the hand that thieves
speaks with a mouth full of grace
and i’ve set out each day
with full faith in the human race
but each day i’m reminded
of just how far we are from perfect
my mother told me when i was very young
son you can never really know a man solely by the words he's spun
