With words you can build mountains In just a moment's time But takes years to tear down And even longer to climb Words that separate They condemn and criticize And even the best of friends Are sometimes jeopardized Quiet please Too much has already been said Just let it be And learn to listen instead Sometimes through the silence Big problems become small If you can't find something good to say Say nothing at all When you heard the latest rumor The talk of the town Did you strive to defend Or did you help to tear down? Secrets that were shared But were meant to be cared Oh don't say things in a crowd That later you'll regret Quiet please Too much has already been said Just let it be And learn to listen instead Sometimes through the silence Big problems become small If you can't find something good to say Say nothing at all Quiet please Too much has already been said Just let it be And learn to listen instead Sometimes through the silence Big problems become small If you can't find something good to say Say nothing at all
