In the face of rising tempers
When the storm is closing in
Show the world your calm demeanor
Let your steady heart begin.
For the peace you seek is fragile
And the threats are always near
But your hand is firm and ready
Should the need arise from fear
Speak softly, but be prepared
Listen closely, and stay aware
Negotiate, but stand your ground
In quiet strength, true peace is found
With wisdom guiding every word
And with a big stick in reserve
Hold your strength, but let power show
And when needed, let that power go
When tempers start to flare
And the storm is closing in
Show the world your calm resolve
Let patience be your kin
Though threats may loom all around
There is no reason to really fear
Your fists remain firm and steady
To fight back hard, when danger's near
Speak softly, but be prepared
Listen closely, and stay aware
Negotiate, but stand your ground
In quiet strength, true peace is found
With wisdom guiding every word
And with a big stick in reserve
Hold your strength, but let power show
And when needed, let that power go
It's not the loudest thunder
But the whisper in the breeze
That shifts the hearts and minds
And brings turmoil to its knees
For discretion and endurance
Are the truest marks of might
They guide you to protection
And a future clear and bright
Speak softly, but be prepared
Listen closely, and stay aware
Negotiate, but stand your ground
In quiet strength, true peace is found
With wisdom guiding every word
And with a big stick in reserve
Hold your strength, but let power show
And when needed, let that power go
So remember in your journey
As you face the trials ahead
Measured steps and careful words
Rattle a sword, let the message spread
Speak softly, but carry a big stick
Let your actions be your voice
In the balance of world power
Friends & enemies have a simple choice
So remember in your journey
As you face the trials ahead
Measured steps and careful words
Rattle a sword, let the message spread
Speak softly, and carry a big stick
Let words and actions be your voice
World power hands in the balance
Friends & enemies have a simple choice
Speak softly, but be prepared
Listen closely, and stay aware
Negotiate, but stand your ground
In quiet strength, true peace is found
With wisdom guiding every word
And with a big stick in reserve
Hold your strength, but let power show
And when needed, let that power go
