Ten Advises 4

​Verse 1: The Wisdom of When to Wait
​(Question and Answer - Q)
When your thoughts are heavy, what is the key?
​(Vocal Chase - A, echoes Q)
Silence is the answer, let your spirit breathe free.
​(Question and Answer - Q)
If your words can wound another soul?
​(Vocal Chase - A, echoes Q)
Hold them tight, keep your mind in control.
​(Phrased Unison)
We got two ears to listen, only one mouth to talk.
Learn to listen and learn, before you start to walk.
​(Vocal Chase)
Don’t tell them more than they really need to know.
Plant your own seed, watch your own wisdom grow.
​Chorus 1: Silence Is Gold
​(Adult Choir / Vocal Chorus)
Oh, the SILENCE IS GOLD, let the truth be told!

Watch what they DO, not the words they drop!
​(Adult Choir / Vocal Chorus)
Take control of your mind, make the foolish talk stop!
​Verse 2: Action and True Value
​(Unison / Parallel Doubling)
Only compare yourself to who you used to be.
Don't look to others, just set your own self free.
​(Close Harmony)
Strong people forgive, while the weak ones revenge.
Intelligent people, they ignore the offense.
​(Unison)
Control your mouth, your mind, and your money, friend.
Keep those three pillars strong right up until the end.
​(Vocal Fry)
Life is a bicycle, you must keep moving along...
To keep your balance, keep singing your own song.

Seek to be a man of VALUE, cut through all the strife.
