Ev’ry Honest Word

[Verse 1]
There ain't a nickle in a solitary dime
That'll buy back anybody's love
Above us all longer arms keep reachin' on down
And listenin' hard for ev'ry honest word

[Refrain]
We keep workin' for

[Verse 2]
Sometimes a heart's caught talkin' too much
Stayin' busy makin' up a change
Namin' all good will callin' up a good day
And listenin' hard for ev'ry honest word

[Refrain]
We keep workin' for

[Chorus]
It's the little old things
For the little ones
That bring us closer homeward still
Listenin' hard for ev'ry honest word

[Verse 4]
So go on and run run out the door
And cry out louder in the streets
No, it ain't money keepin' me back on my feet
And listenin' hard for ev'ry honest word

[Chorus]
It's the little old things
For the little ones
That bring us closer homeward still
Listenin' hard for ev'ry honest word

[Verse 5]
There ain't a nickle in a solitary dime
That'll buy back anybody's love

[Chorus]
Now it's the little old things for the little ones
That bring us closer homeward still
Listenin' hard
Listenin' hard
Listenin' harder
Now for ev'ry honest word
Ev'ry honest word
