Lyrics
What are we gonna do about this mess?
If the words you speak dont bring life, Settle Down
If the words you speak add to the strife, Settle Down
you've got your feathers in a ruffle but you are adding to the struggle. so settle down
If the words you speak dont feel kind, Settle Down
If the words you speak are more of the blind leading the blind, Settle Down
We're all aware of the struggle but you add to it double
WORDS YOU SPEAK BRING LIFE..... OR THEY DONT
YOU KNOW, WORDS YOU SPEAK BRING LIFE, LOVE, HOPE, FAITH, JOY AND PEACE ....... OR THEY DONT
Repeat first verse
Outro-
We're all aware of the struggle,
you got your head in your own bubble,
You go your feathers in a ruffle
but you make more trouble
so Settle Down,
Talking outro:
What's all this name-calling? this adult-bullying.
Putting judgments and labels on people you've never even met.
If you words dont bring life, just dont speak at all.
Settle Down
