ACTIONS Oct. 11/85 Karl Rigelhof

It's not the quantity
It's the quality
It's not what you want it to be
It's what it is (in) reality/actuall(it)y

It's (not) the sum of/it's the parts
It's if/where it comes from the heart
And it feels good
Just like they/you said/knew it would

It's not the deed
It's the thought
It's not what you need
It's what you've got

It's not the reason of the rhyme
It's believing that in/with time
Everyone will (have) see(n)
What (it is) you really mean

Then we all can share the dream

CHORUS:
Actions speak louder than words
Yet the pen is mightier than the sword
Distractions sneak up before they're heard
Communication/understanding is its own reward
