We Speak

WE SPEAK - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I climb atop the ladder

And look far beyond the sky 

Sometimes it doesn't matter

Sometimes 

We speak like an invention 

And think too much about the dial 

If looks could kill, we're gonners

Some cry 

The men will come 

The men they fight 

Women will run 

The children they hide 

Flowers know the secret 

And grow far beyond their dreams 

It starts with only one seed 

One garden 

We speak of love's devotion 

And wait too long to feel the noise 

It happens when it wants to

Oh, joy

The men will come 

The men they fight 

Women will run 

The children they hide

The morning will come

The morning is bright 

Sons will fall

Daughters will lose their rights 

We speak out of anger 

We speak with the forked tongue 

We speak out of time when we speak out of turn 

We speak for a reason

We speak for none 

We speak out of rhyme 

We speak - sometimes 

I climb atop the ladder 

Sometimes it doesn't matter 

Sometimes 

The men will come 

The men they fight 

Women will run 

The children they hide
