Who you truly are is exposed by your words
So don't just say anything you think
Listen more than you speak
And before you speak, rethink
Unguarded speech often draw's rebuke
So think about what you say
Or you may find yourself making up an excuse
Or laying blame in another way
All your careless words can't fix another person
Instead they build up walls that you can't scale
Look inside and take your own inventory
And let cautiousness prevail

Who you truly are is exposed by your words
So don't just say anything you think
Listen more than you speak
And before you speak, rethink
Unguarded speech often draw's rebuke
So think about what you say
Or you may find yourself making up an excuse
Or laying blame in another way
All your careless words can't fix another person
Instead they build up walls that you can't scale
Look inside and take your own inventory
And let cautiousness prevail
