Take My Words

So take my words, don't write them down
but don't let them fall to the ground
catch them in your mind and hide them in your heart
and from your lips don't let them depart, oh no

Live as I've lived, love as I've loved
give all you can give, you can never give enough

an anxious heart, weighs a person down
but a kind word, lifts them off the ground

So take my words, don't write them down
but don't let them fall to the ground
catch them in your mind and hide them in your heart
and from your lips don't let them depart

Above all else, guard your heart
please protect yourself, it's where life starts

Unfolding these words, brings light
and grants understanding, to the simple mind

Listen carefully, tune your ears
'cause you won't have me, in a few more years

So take my words, don't write them down
but don't let them fall to the ground
catch them in your mind and hide them in your heart
and from your lips don't let them depart, oh no
