A tongue can accuse and carry bad newsThe seeds of distrust, it will sowBut unless you've made no mistakes in your lifeBe careful of stones that you throw.A neighbor was passing my garden one timeShe stopped and I knew right awayThat it was gossip, not flowers, she had on her mindAnd this is what I heard my neighbor say :That girl down the street should be run from our midstShe drinks and she talks quite a lotShe knows not to speak to my child or to me.My neighbor then smiled and I thought:A tongue can accuse and carry bad newsThe seeds of distrust, it will sowBut unless you've made no mistakes in your lifeBe careful of stones that you throw.A car speeded by and the screamin of brakesA sound that made my blood chillFor my neighbors one child had been pulled from the pathAnd saved by a girl lying still.The child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out:SongtexteOh! who was that brave girl so sweet?I covered the crushed, broken body and said:The bad girl who lived down the street.A tongue can accuse and carry bad newsThe seeds of distrust, it will sowBut unless you've made no mistakes in your lifeBe careful of stones that you throw.
