If words were always spoken
With the honour of their intent
Then the trust that lies have broken
Would have never lost its strength
Promises that forge a chain of links
To bear the weight
Of ambitious hearts and minds
Who dare themselves to make
A leap of faith
A bridge of hope
From the dream to the event,
Oh if only
Words were spoken with the honour of their intent
If words were always spoken
With the honour of their intent
Then the sentences unspoken
Would underline what's meant
And raise a voice above the noise
That drowns out honesty
For the truth is easily recognised
If spoken purposefully
A pure and simple
Statement
It has no need
Of ornament
Oh if only
Words were spoken with the honour of their intent
