Lyrics

[INTRO]
In a world of words, we must be wise
The power of speech, can open eyes
To the harm it causes, to the good it brings
Let's listen to the Chofetz Chaim's wings

[VERSE 1 - CHOFETZ CHAIM]
Uncle Moishy, come and hear
I implore you, dear, to banish fear
Of speaking evil, of hurtful speech
Lashon Hara, a sin to breach
It cuts like a knife, it pierces the soul
Leaving scars that can never be whole

[CHORUS]
Don't speak Lashon Hara, it's not the way
To bring us down, day by day
Let's uplift and inspire, with words so kind
And watch our communities shine

[VERSE 2 - UNCLE MOISHY]
I know, dear Rabbi, I must confess
I've spoken badly, and caused distress
But you have shown me, the error of my ways
The hurt I've caused, in thoughtless days
I'll strive to use, my words with care
And bring only good, with every share

[CHORUS]
Don't speak Lashon Hara, it's not the way
To bring us down, day by day
Let's uplift and inspire, with words so kind
And watch our communities shine

[BRIDGE]
In the merit of our speech so pure
We'll bring only light, to those around us, for sure
No more hurtful words, no more pain
Only kindness and love, will remain

[HOOK]
Lashon Tov, it's the way to be
Speaking good, of you and me
Uplifting words, that bring us near
To Hashem's love, and calm our fear

[CHORUS]
Don't speak Lashon Hara, it's not the way
To bring us down, day by day
Let's uplift and inspire, with words so kind
And watch our communities shine

[OUTRO]
Now we've learned, from the Chofetz Chaim
The value of speech, and its holy aim
Let's use our words, to bring us near
To love, to kindness, and to banish fear.
