Wise Words

Words are much more powerful
Than anybody knows
What if life was based upon
Just the words we chose

Could we put an end to war
Or maybe save a life
Comfort all the heartache
Or end the pain and strife

Could we take away the sorrow
And replace it with a smile
Could we change a person's mind
Who's maybe in denial

Could we put an end to conflict
Before it starts a fight
Or take away the worry
And make things be alright

Could we talk to all the lonely
So they'll never be alone
Or pick someone from off the street
And help them find a home

Words can change most anything
And no one can refuse
Always choose them wisely
So take the time to choose
