On time now for losing tempers
Or filling up with rage or angst
Flying off the handle could be detrimental
Calmer hands are called for here
A breath or two could be applied
Count to ten and then decide
A rash decision-crash collision
Damage done beyond repair
Kinder words here we could pick
A kind approach might do the trick
Hurt you, hurt me, well that needs to stop
Kinder words here we could choose
We've kind of got a lot to lose
The temperature we need that to drop
A wrong move now might spell disaster
A selfish one might spell it faster
Let's relax, review the facts
For all involved that be best
A world of difference might be made
If our next move could be delayed
Sort it out and talk about
Just what it was that caused this mess
Kinder words here we could pick
A kind approach might do the trick
Hurt you, hurt me, that's the worst thing we could do
Kinder words here we could chose
We've kind of got a lot to lose
Watch what we say, don't walk away, let's see it through
Kinder words here we could pick
A kind approach might do the trick
Hurt you, hurt me, well that needs to stop
Kinder words here we could choose
We've kind of got a lot to lose
The temperature we need that to drop
