Talk It Out

When things feel hard, or something makes you upset
Your words can help you feel better
Lets talk it out together

When someone makes you mad or upset today
You have a choice in how you act and what you say
You can take a quiet breath and talk it through
Think it over, take your time, that's option one for you
Or you might want to choose option two
To shout real loud, and use your hands too
But option two can make things trickier for you
So lets use our words to find a calm way through

You can speak when you're bothered, you can talk it out
You can pause for a moment, and there is no doubt
That your calm smart brain, and your gentle heart
Can help you fix the problem right from the start

You might get confused by what someone said
And a tiny mix up starts growing in your head
You might think the worst before you know whats true
But checking helps you see another point of view
You can take a little moment, breathe and ask what's real
Say, can you explain
Or, tell me how you feel
Misunderstandings happen, it's nothing new
But talking helps us clear the air for me and you

You can speak when you're bothered, you can talk it out
You can pause for a moment, and there is no doubt
That your calm smart brain, and your gentle heart
Can help you fix the problem right from the start

Sometimes it feels too hard to say what's on your mind
And the words play hide and seek, and are tough to find
You want to share your feelings, but you're not sure what to do
Just start with one small sentence, that's enough for you
You can say, I need help
Or, I don't feel okay
And your voice grows stronger when you try that way
Even tiny words can guide your heart straight through
Because speaking up is brave, and that lives in you

You can speak when you're bothered, you can talk it out
You can pause for a moment, and there is no doubt
That your calm smart brain, and your gentle heart
Can help you fix the problem right from the start

You can speak when you're bothered, you can talk it out
You can pause for a moment, and there is no doubt
That your calm smart brain, and your gentle heart
Can help you fix the problem right from the start

Talk it out
Talk it out

So the next time someone makes you feel upset
Remember this song and don't forget
Take a little moment and ask, what should I do
And your wise gentle heart will guide you through

Using your words is the best way to make things feel better
