There's power in the tongue
No force on earth can tame it
From the inside of your heart
Will come the words that you'll be saying
There's power in the tongue
It's a dangerous world to wander
Don't let it set a spark
That can set your world asunder
We just can't tame the tongue
We just can't tame the tongue
We just can't tame the tongue
We just can't tame the tongue
Baby if you think that you are perfect
You should never find a fault in what you say
Truth be told, you know that no one's perfect
Cause we all have different struggles in different ways
What comes into our soul will come out of the mouth
Don't speak evil to the people all around you
Life and Deadly poison can't come from the same source
You can't praise God and curse your neighbor too
Who is wise and understanding
Let them show it by their life
Don't take it from the wisdom of the world
Be merciful, submissive
Reap the harvest of the righteous
Let the words of wisdom show
But there's something you should know
There's power in the tongue
No force on earth can tame it
From the inside of your heart
Will come the words that you'll be saying
There's power in the tongue
It's a dangerous world to wander
Don't let it set a spark
That can set your world asunder
We just can't tame the tongue
We just can't tame the tongue
We just can't tame the tongue
We just can't tame the tongue
Oh, you can't tame it
No, no, no, no
You better watch your mouth
Oh, you can't tame it
No, you can't tame it
