You Might Want to Stop and Think Bout What You're Gettin' Ready to Say!

by Herbert Poole

You might want to stop and think
Bout what you're gettin' ready to say,
Will it really make a difference
At the end of the day?

You might want to stop and think
Bout what you're gettin' ready to say,
Cause the words you choose to speak
May be filled with death and decay.

You might want to stop and think
Bout what you're gettin' ready to say,
As the lies that you tell
Might lead some poor soul astray.

You might want to stop and think
Bout what you're gettin' ready to say,
As the wounds your words may cause
Cannot simply be wiped away.

You might want to stop and think
Bout what you're gettin' ready to say,
Cause you'll soon find for broken promises
There's always a price to pay.

You might want to stop and think
Bout what you're gettin' ready to say,
And just pause for a minute
And take the time to pray.
