Moment To Reflect

There was a man He had a thought He couldn't keep it to himself Though he ought He spread it 'round knowing that Mouths would run like water And turn it into fact This is how wars begin This is how bombs start droppin' If it begins with stopping I will, I will Before I say something I regret I Need a moment to reflect I'd Like to keep my foot out of my mouth And not be speakin' out my neck And not say it just to be sayin' it I got a butterfly net In which my thoughts I collect Puttin' the head and heart to the test to come with something better If a thought is an opinion To the truth it has no relation But many mouths want attention Intoxicated by the feelin of getting some This is how wars begin This is how hearts get broken If it begins with stopping I will, I will Before I say something I regret I Need a moment to reflect I'd Like to keep my foot out of my mouth And not be speakin' out my neck And not say it just to be sayin' it I got a butterfly net In which my thoughts I collect Puttin' the head and heart to the test to come with something better When the tongues start waggin' Yeah yeah It burns fire like dragon Yeah yeah I don't want to be havin' That on my conscience, no I remember, I remember Said the mother, to the daughter "If you don't have nothin' nice to say then don't say nothing at all" Before I say something I regret I Need a moment to reflect I'd Like to keep my foot out of my mouth And not be speakin' out my neck And not say it just to be sayin' it I got a butterfly net In which my thoughts I collect Puttin' the head and heart to the test to come with something better To come with something better, to come with something better To come with something better, to come with something better To reflect Puttin' the head and heart to the test to come with something better To come with better yea
