Quiet Please

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
