Lyrics

Some folks know the words
That they wish not to or to say
And some still seem to think that
Most terms can be interchanged
I do my best to let attention pay
For itself and any meaning
I can’t seem to quite convey

It may occur to you
The problem’s root could be the rate
At which we try to live
We’re left forgetting what’s at stake
We do our best
And it changes, day to day
Though we often could do better
Life’s a journey, not a race

Mind your meanings
Mind the words you say
Mind your meanings
And then you might know your own some day
And notice when you begin to stray

Might you think again
When words are met with batted eyes?
Second thoughts aren’t saved for after
Being read your rights.
You may think again, my friend, when you decide.
Such a helpful thing to do, I find
Is slowing down my mind

That’s how I mind my meanings
And mind the words I say
I mind my meanings
And find forgiveness in my mistakes
And find forgiveness in thy mistakes
So try forgiving that guy’s mistakes
After forgiving your own mistakes
