Sleek, Fat, Ugly, Beautiful
Joy, Pain, sorrow, rain
We use these words so readily on dark cold nights or under a tree
Whose roots stretch out across the path of righteous men
Trying to trip their feet, tangling their robes unmercifully
Words can be so hurtful too
I'm sure that you've heard a few
In pubs and clubs and private bars
In hotels and in cinemas
Let's choose our words so
carefully, one sounded wrong
And who can know what pain you cause
How little we know of each other's minds
And how to choose what to express
CHOOSE
Yes choose those words so carefully
Then please try and explain to me
How words can be so proud and grand
Tell me how one word can change a life
Like the sharpened blade of a switch blade knife
Yet another can dull the sharpest sword
From a cruel mans tongue
How wise the Prophet who once said
A Rapiers strike is sharp
Yet the pain is swift in passing
But words are like a dull knife
They don't cut deep at first
Yet upon reflection
Hurt can go deeper than that keener blade
Souring a life once so strong and sweet
But by words brought down low
So my children choose your phrases meticulously
And speak not quick to anger
For your words may hurt one so dear to you
That you will never recover the dream you once sought
Love, Pain, Sorrow, Rain and the Joyful tears of life
They all go together my loved ones
So choose your words carefully
You may not get a second chance
