Words will always retain their power. Words are the means to meaning, and for those who listen, the enunciation of truth, and the truth is there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there?

What it means
Our interpretation.
Words keep their power, the speaker says, because they carry meaning and voice truth for anyone willing to listen. The speaker then uses that power to claim something is deeply wrong with the country, inviting the listener to agree.
