Take The Back Seat

Sometimes we storm into the middle of wounds we don’t see
Sometimes we know just what we’re doing and never leave
How could we be so blind
How can we be so unkind

Why can’t we have a bit more compassion
Why can’t we practice some of what we preach
Why can’t we think of putting others in the front
And just take the back seat
Why can’t we be more quick to listen
Why can’t we be more slow to speak
Why can’t we think of putting others in the front
And just take the back seat

Then there are times when we have spoken some words we regret
Left people broken with their burdens and tried to forget
How could we be so wrong
How can we be so head-strong

And oh that every word would be so good
That we could live a life of peace
