What Does It Mean That Words Can Do Anything?

They say seeing is believing
but believing is doing
so, logically, seeing is doing
and I see what you’re doing
so, I know what you believe
 
But I don’t know why;
tell me why
 
I believe because it is a word
and while all words are nouns
believe is also a verb
which is why
my thing is doing
