From the recording Tin Can World
Lyrics
I was lost, feeling down
Watching words hit the ground
Through the air or leather bound
Forming heaps of desert sound
Spoken words, hidden deeds
Lying deep in the weeds
Take my hand, fly away
Your command I’ll obey
One word’s as good as another
From a gatekeeper to your sister and brother
Hope that some day you will discover
That one word’s as good as another
If every word came from the heart
This whole damn world would fall apart
And in its place, right where you are
Another face, a brand new start
Spoken words, hidden deeds
Lying low on the weeds
Watch them heed what you say
Your command to obey
One word’s as good as another
From a gatekeeper to your sister and brother
Hope that some day you will discover
That one word’s as good as another
One word’s as good as another
Till you find the meaning, the meaning behind
There were millions of people
Before you and I
Who searched for the truth
That was hidden in the sky
Then the wise men spoke
In words of stone
To make them heard
The knives were drawn
The sky went black
The rivers red
Till only sheep were there to be led
So if you find yourself asking, asking why
It’s cos you can’t see the lies that are written in your mind
One word’s as good as another
From a gatekeeper to your sister and brother
Hope that some day you will discover
That one word’s as good as another
I was lost, feeling down
