Verse  1 
Today  I have  a grey  cloud  hanging  over  me. 
You  don’t  even  care  to  see.   
Why  do  have  to  be  so  mean. 
You  should  teach yourself to  speak. 
Same  old  same  old  people  can  be  very  cold. 

They  don’t  give  you  the  chance  for  your story  to  be  told. 
I don’t  have  the power  to  be  bold. 
I’m  rolling  with  the  punches, not  looking  forward  to  what  will unfold. 

Chorus
Please  remember  that  you  share  this  earth  
with humans who  have  a  heart  that  feels.

You  don’t  have to  be  mean to  get  your  will. 
What  you  say  some  may  never  forget,  
what  you  say  may  leave  you  with a lot  of  regret.  

Consider  what  you  say, 
because  it  may  literally  kill  me.   
You  don’t  have  to  be  so  mean. 
Consider  what  you  say.   

Verse  2 
Don’t  take  out  your  anger  on  me,  
don’t  make  me  your punching  bag. 
Don’t  take  out  your  frustrations  on  me. 
I  may  not  have  or  I  may  not  care  so don’t  brag. 

You  look  down  on  me,  
you  underestimate  me  
and  you  beat  me  down with  your harsh  words. 
Your  words  are  a  sharp  blade,  
they  have  sliced  me  into  pieces,  
into  pieces,  into  pieces. 

Chorus 
Please  remember  that  you  share  this  earth  
with humans who  have  a  heart  that  feels.

You  don’t  have to  be  mean to  get  your  will. 
What  you  say  some  may  never  forget,  
what  you  say  may  leave  you  with a lot  of  regret.  

Consider  what  you  say, 
because  it  may  literally  kill  me.   
You  don’t  have  to  be  so  mean. 
Consider  what  you  say.   

Verse  3 
Your  tongue  is  the  course  of all the  wars.  
Your  tongue  is the  course  of  all this  hatred.  
Your  tongue  is the course  of  everything  bad  in this world.

Your tongue  could  heal this  world. 
Your tongue  could  do wonder  for  children.  
Your tongue  could  bring  sunshine  to  this dull  world.  
Money  isn’t  power…  your tongue  is. 

Chorus
Please  remember  that  you  share  this  earth  
with humans who  have  a  heart  that  feels.

You  don’t  have to  be  mean to  get  your  will. 
What  you  say  some  may  never  forget,  
what  you  say  may  leave  you  with a lot  of  regret.  

Consider  what  you  say, 
because  it  may  literally  kill  me.   
You  don’t  have  to  be  so  mean. 
Consider  what  you  say.
