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
