about

Sometimes the most powerful things aren't freight trains or nuclear bombs, but a gentle, loving word.

lyrics

Verse 1:
When anger strikes, the tongue enables abuse
An understanding word can turn the tables, bring truth
Death and life are in the words we speak

Chorus:
Power doesn't have to look like an oncoming train
Our lives are fragile and so easily exposed to pain
A gentle answer can disarm, it can heal
It makes a difference when you're loved and you know it's real.

Verse 2:
After the fight, how can we ever let go?
We're never perfect, but we can grow
It's not so much the conflicts, but how we solve them before "good night"
I'll love your present self, wrongs are in the past now, Let's rewrite our lives!

Chorus:
Power doesn't have to look like an oncoming train
Our lives are fragile and so easily exposed to pain
A gentle answer can disarm, it can heal
It makes a difference when you're loved and you know it's real.
