The Wonder of Silence

Take your lies down off the wall

Take your mean across the hall

Take your pride and pack it up

Put it in your pick-up truck

And bring me back my friend

 

Take your full chest big-head strut

I’ve give’n you time

But that’s enough

I might love, but I won’t fight

I don’t care whose wrong or right

Just bring me back my friend.

 

And if you’re feel’n kind of mean

You can come back later now you’ll leave

If you ain’t feel’n heard

I will listen too, you have my word

 

Maybe if we learn to take slow

Where no one is high and no one low

I know that we can if we watch it grow

We’d bring it back again.

 

Take your lies down off the wall

Take your mean across the hall

Take your pride and pack it up

Put it in your pick up truck

And bring me back my friend

 

Take your full chest big-head strut

I’ve give’n you time

But that’s enough

I might love, but I won’t fight

I don’t care whose wrong or right

Just bring me back my friend.

 

And I’m not say’n I’m a saint

I’m not saying you ain’t got some fair complaints

I’m not saying that I’m right

I’m not saying you ain’t got good cause to fight

 

Maybe we learn to drop our shoulds

Where nobody is bad no one good

I know that we can if we think we could

We’d bring it back again.
