The stuff you dont say

A child is being hurt
and he knows that you can see
but you think that its not your problem
and so you just let it be

Perhaps you should have spoken
that probably would have been right
maybe you could have stopped
the bad things that happened at night

You see someone being picked on
and dont think that its good
but you just stand there and watch it
as they lose their livelyhood

Perhaps you should have spoken
that probably would have been right
maybe you could have stopped
what he did to himself that night

These things could be stopped if you spoke up
instead of just letting it go
and knowing that if you had stopped it
You could have saved someones soul

Perhaps you should have spoke up
but you didnt and now your pained
sometimes the things you dont say
are the things that would have saved
