Wired for Sound

Michael W. Smith

[Chorus:]
Word of mouth is the counselor
There is no need for proof
In a world that's wired for sound
The tongue becomes the mighty sword
That battles the truth
In a world that's wired for sound
Comin' on like a tidal wave
That washes through the brain--a state of mind
No dispute when the noise is made
And so it lets the blind lead the blind
Lured by charisma to be swayed to believe

[Chorus]

Easier believing what is hard to get rid of than to try
Never searching--just accepting
Feeds the mind enough to get you by

Scratching the surface yet to dig deeper down

[Chorus:]
Word of mouth is the counselor
There is no need for proof
In a world that's wired for sound
The tongue becomes the mighty sword
That battles the truth
In a world that's wired for sound
Wisdom from the sacred page
Is turned and ignored
In a world that's wired for sound

[Chorus]
