Eighty Two Leon - Keep the Peace Lyrics

When the day is long
And your temper is short
And you're reaching for something to say
Will you be rude? Will it be harsh?
Or will you stop for a moment to pray?
You find yourself
In a battle of thoughts
Not knowing which way to turn
But then you remember the things that you say
Can cause many bridges to burn

Keep The Peace
Have a kind word to say
Keep The Peace
It's really the only way
Keep The Peace
Do It Jehovah's Way
Keep The Peace
When you hear unkind words
And they're directed you
And you're just not sure how to react
Do you try to get even or settle the score?
Or keep your friendship with God intact?
There's no rhyme or reason
Why you're feeling this way
'Cause you know what's inside of God's word
So you bite your tongue and walk away
No evil thing from your mouth will be heard

Keep The Peace
Have a kind word to say
Keep The Peace
It's really the only way
Keep The Peace
Do It Jehovah's Way
Keep The Peace
