They say war starts with a shot from a gun but I say words start them by rolling of the tongue.
The tongue can set your world on fire as one man calls anther man a liar. You better believe the tongue can spit fire.
Chorus
Who can tame the tongue?
Who can tame the tongue?
Can you tame your tongue?
It's so true sticks and stones do break bones and it's so true words can hit as hard as a stone.
Those words can break our spirit like flowers if hail falls on them shower after shower.
You better believe your words they have power, power.
Chorus
Who can tame the tongue?
Who can tame the tongue?
Can you tame your tongue?
I saw words strike out like men use thier feet. I saw that name lying so still on the street.
That name was kicked and a bruised in mud it lay ther hurting no sign of the blood.Hey I would suggest you speak out some love, love.
Chorus
Who can tame the tongue?
Who can tame the tongue?
Can you tame your tongue?
