Shhhhhh; ……… and listen
Do you not hear what they are saying
Sometimes it's in the air before a christen
People will be murmuring instead of praying,
Did you not hear their idea or their thought
Maybe it's about the rich or maybe the poor
But, it is always heard before the first gun shot
Maybe it's about an affair or a robbery, or maybe it's a war;
Is it possible someone had some secret surgery
Or maybe some sad person is getting a divorce
Perhaps someone knows of someone who had committed perjury
Or maybe someone is happy when they should be showing remorse;
Listen, is it a fact or the gospel or is it just a rumor
Take heed before any truths that you can't confer
Maybe someone has cancer or maybe a tumor
But, remember this; everything always starts with a whisper.
