You know nothing will ever get solved
|
If you feel you shouldn't get involved
|
Claiming ignorance of what to say
|
Or how to say it the 'proper' way
|
Well you're nodding your head but building walls
|
By keeping your thoughts invisible
|
And blaming ignorance from everyone else
|
For leaving you stranded by yourself
|
Well they presumed that your happy like that
|
If you dropped the scowl you'd be in for a chat
|
Maybe - it's as simple as what they see
|
And they can see a lot
|
|
So don't point the finger till you shaken the hand
|
Get to know to way these people understand
|
From strangers at a party - Who's that over there?
|
To those in a different country where the language makes you scared
|
|
If you're in a solo situation
|
Face to unknown face
|
Start a walking conversation
|
And then increase the pace
|
The walls get built by silence
|
But are easily replaced
|
Cos in every style of language
|
It is easy to relate
|
And a smile or open signal
|
Can lay the barriers to waste
|
|
Pack a few less self-images
|
And make it less of an ego trip
|
And the distance will be nothing
|
Between visitor and visited
|
Words used such as 'strangers'
|
Make us sink in hesitation
|
But the language of intention
|
Speaks out loud in all directions
|
Once you've cleared your inner fears
|
You can carry on for years!
