When others are losing their heads And can't help running their mouths Keeping your own counsel Can stand you out from the crowd When it's off the top of your head And on the tip of your tongue When you know you're in two minds Silence is true wisdom Then, once the dust is settled While they're still catching their breath You can offer a fresh perspective And they'll all be in your debt

Quiet Wisdom
When others are losing their heads And can't help running their mouths Keeping your own counsel Can stand you out from the crowd When it's off the top of your head And on the tip of your tongue When you know you're in two minds Silence is true wisdom Then, once the dust is settled While they're still catching their breath You can offer a fresh perspective And they'll all be in your debt
It's noisy out there.
