About the song
Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to record the lyrics right now, so it takes s little imagination to see how they fit the music. Imagine lots of la la la's in the intro and musical interludes.
Lyrics
The Little Tongue

The little tongue, from which is sprung
Such wondrous things. It talks! It sings; (la la la lalala)
In loving prose it brings to those
Who use its balm a healing calm.
In gentleness, it's used to bless.
In words of peace it brings release
From cruel portent; entanglement;
From anger's grasp to friendship's clasp.
A careless word, in anger heard,
Ignites a war of bestial horror.
Harangue, abuse will light the fuse
And once alight, the flame burns bright;
A raging fire of ill desire.
The little tongue, from which is sprung
Such wondrous things. It talks! It sings!
It holds the power in every hour
To turn one's fate to love or hate;
To build, destroy, refresh, annoy,
To give, to take, repair or break,
Be sweet or terse, to bless or curse;
A wealth of life or untold strife.
It holds the key of destiny.
