You Can'T Unring a Bell

You can't stop the world from turning If you feel like jumping off You can't double up your earnings If your middles gotten soft You can dream of the solution But you must act on it as well Just make sure of what your doing Cause you can't unring a bell You can't stop a word that's hateful Once it's flying through mid air You can't make a person grateful If they've never really cared You can't change the image in the looking glass Or halt a wave mid swell A churning ocean is never clear And you can't unring a bell You can't start a new beginning If your at the very end Nor untie a knot cinched tight With only thoughts blown on the wind You can't promise the world in wonder And the stars above as well Then decide at last to take it back Cause you can't unring a bell You can't change the law of physics Or add words to a dried up pen There's no fourth to your three wishes And you can't hide behind your name It's hard to see light if you're too far down In the digging of your well Breathing does not mean you're living And you can't unring a bell
