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 veryΒ Β 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
Thank you Don for the inspiration on this piece! I bet your father was a wonderful man. I used to love sitting with my father and listening to the stories of the past. Seems these days we're all in to much of a hurry to get nowhere when just sitting and talking is the only place we really need to be.
