Do Not Say Yes When You Mean To Say No
Do not say yes when you mean to say no
Why would you carry the luggage of lies?
Sing; sing a sincere song wherever you go.
Many murderers toil to shun their shadow
Their deeds are not hidden, like the star in
the skies
Do not say yes when you mean to say no.
Live to love; become someone’s pillar and
pillow
Save a soul from the night’s fiery flies,
Sing; sing a sincere song wherever you go.
The wicked forcefully reap where they did
not sow,
The lord will arise and dry your dripping
eyes,
Do not say yes, when you mean to say no.
So many are wallowing in want and woe,
They were ravaged by rulers, who were
secret spies,
Sing; sing a sincere song wherever you go.
Even if the stormy seas make you sick and
slow
All you need do is to shake off the chains
and arise;
Do not say yes when you mean too say no,
Sing; sing a sincere song wherever you go.
