The things we think and things we do
The words we say and don’t
The sounds hear see and misperceive
The things we will and won’t
Observe and take a moment’s rest
Decide the time to speak
And then you’ll act on knowledge that
You gained while you were weak
So bide your time and hold your tongue
No need to start a fight
Conserve the facts and hold to them
Until the time is right
