Take My Words

​

So take my words, don’t write them down

but don’t let them fall to the ground

catch them in your mind and hide them in your heart

and from your lips don’t let them depart, oh no

 

Live as I’ve lived, love as I’ve loved 

give all you can give, you can never give enough

 

an anxious heart, weighs a person down

but a kind word, lifts them off the ground

 

So take my words, don’t write them down

but don’t let them fall to the ground

catch them in your mind and hide them in your heart

and from your lips don’t let them depart

 

Above all else, guard your heart

please protect yourself, it’s where life starts

 

Unfolding these words, brings light

and grants understanding, to the simple mind

 

Listen carefully, tune your ears

‘cause you won’t have me, in a few more years

 

So take my words, don’t write them down

but don’t let them fall to the ground

catch them in your mind and hide them in your heart

and from your lips don’t let them depart, oh no
