Don't Say A Word

My mama told me when I was a child

Son, you've gotta keep a hold of your tongue

And if you don't have anything nice to say, my child

Well, don't say anything at all

'Cause every single thing that comes out of your mouth

Someone's listening

Taking as the truth every word that comes out

So don't, don't, don't, don't say a word

My father told me people see a preacher preach

And assume that the words are the Lord's

So before you spout out your most recent thoughts

Just remember who you're speaking for

Or don't say anything at all

'Cause every single thing that comes out of your mouth

Someone's listening

Taking as the truth every word that comes out

So don't, don't, don't, don't say a word

The word was made flesh and He dwelt among men

There's a truth deeper than our opinion

With a message of life for the dead

And who will tell them?

'Cause every single thing that comes out of your mouth

Someone's listening

Taking as the truth every word that comes out

So don't, so don't

'Cause every single thing that comes out of your mouth

Someone, someone

Is taking as the truth every word that comes out

Don't, don't, don't

Don't say a word
