Song Description

Be careful what you say...words are more than what you say.

Lyrics

WORDS

THEY CAN MAKE YOU LOSE YOUR PATIENCE
THEY CAN SLAP YOU IN THE FACE
THEY CAN BACK YOU IN THE CORNER
THEY CAN SOMETIMES PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE

THEY CAN CAUSE MISUNDERSTANDING
OFTEN BRUISING ALL YOUR PRIDE
WHICH CAN LEAD TO TOXIC TURMOIL
CREATING CHAOS AND DIVIDE

THEY CAN SQUEEZE AND DRAIN YOUR BEATING HEART
THEY CAN WEIGH YOUR BODY DOWN
THEY CAN DRAG YOU DOWN TO DEPTHS UNKNOWN
AND SUFFOCATE YOU TILL YOU DROWN

CHORUS:
WORDS...BE CAREFUL HOW YOU USE THEM
WORDS...THEY WILL NOT FADE AWAY
WORDS...ONCE YOU HAVE ABUSED THEM
BECAUSE WORDS ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN WHAT YOU SAY
(WORD, TELL ME WHY CAN'T YOU SEE, WORD SEPERATES YOU AND ME)

THEY CAN OFFER UP SOLUTIONS
WHICH CAN CAUSE US TO UNITE
STIRRING UP A REVOLUTION
WHICH CAN TAKE A WRONG AND MAKE IT RIGHT

THEY CAN TAKE US TO A DIFFERENT PLACE
AND FILL A SOUL WITH HOPE
THEY CAN DIGNIFY AND OFFER GRACE
IN A WORLD THAT'S CLINGING TO A ROPE

THEY CAN RESUSCITATE A HOLLOW HEART
AND FILL IT WITH DESIRE
AND THEN IGNITE A SPARK THAT STARTS
A FLAME OF EVERLASTING FIRE

CHORUS

LIFE IS A MIX OF PAIN AND FRUSTRATION
HAPPINESS AND GRIEF AND ELATION
HOW YOU HANDLE IT IS ALL UP TO YOU
TAKE A BREATH BEFORE YOU SPEAK YOUR MIND
IF YOU DON'T THERE'S NO WAY TO REWIND
ONCE IT'S OUT THERE YOU MIGHT FIND
THERE'S NO WAY TO UNDO

CHORUS BREAKDOWN
(WORD, TELL ME WHY CAN'T YOU SEE, WORD CAN UNITE YOU AND ME)
