THE POWER OF WORDS (new version)

Did you know that words have power
Every minute of every hour
In all that you say

Did you know your words have power
Every word, a delicate flower
If you take care what you say

Careless words said again and again
Those thoughtless comments that keep you the same
Did you not know what you say

Heartfelt words said with love and care
Those crystal dewdrops that never tear
Helps us all on our way

For words have power….

Did you not know your words have power
Have you not noticed things go sour
From something you’ve said

If you don’t know your words have power
Have you never been a liar
And seen what you did (with your words)

Speak true – with care
Everything you dare
Make Trust – don’t break trust
With everyone you meet

For words have power….

But you can fill your words with power
Build a sentence like a tower
And speak of your truth

If you fill your words with power
Every minute, every hour
Your world will change

Speak true – with care
Everything you dare
Make Trust – don’t break trust
Be the power that you seek

Most people say ‘I love you’ with hardly a thought
Of what they have bought, with their words
But now is the time to wake up, and see what we’ve got
Without having fought – for most anything at all

Speak true – with care
Everything you dare
Make Trust – don’t break trust
With everyone you can

For words have power…

Did you know that words have power
Every minute of every hour
In all that you say

Did you know your words have power
Every word, a delicate flower
If you take care what you say………
