KIT HOLMES: Songs and Albums

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

Words give us poems,
Lyrics and rhymes,
Novels and lines from a play
On rocks and on pages
All through the ages
We've tried to express
the same way

(Chorus)
Words are the seeds
That made you and me
And gave us our nights
and our days
So I carfully, consciously,
willingly, thoughtfully, lovingly
Choose what I SAY

Some words are diamonds
Like wisdom and love,
Integrity, courage and trust
But if we should give them
To folks who don't live them
Their meanings scatter
like dust

(Chorus)

Words are the weapons
That fire the first shot
In all the wars ever begun
We check off our lists
And clash with our fists
When we really
Should be holding our tongues

Words are the engines
That move us through life
Holding us safe on the tracks
From station to station
Each destination
Gives us strength
To let go of the past

(Chorus)

Words of advice
Be patient
And nice
The world wasn't made in a day
So carefully, consciously, willingly, thoughtfully, lovingly
Choose what you say
