Listen Silently, Then Speak Clearly (Principle Seven)

Listen Silently, Then Speak Clearly – Wisdom begins with listening. When you quiet your own noise and truly hear others, you gain deeper understanding. Only then can you respond with clarity, purpose, and words that inspire and uplift.Listen Silently Then Speak Clearly(Verse 1)You talk, I wait to reply,I’m not listening, I’m living a lie.I nod and wait, it’s the price I pay,Just holding back till I have my say.The next stage is to judge what’s being said,But my heart’s not involved, only my headanalyzing, assuming, lost in my view,Drowning your voice in the noise that I spew.(Chorus)Listen deep, let silence rise,See the truth behind their eyes.No rush, no walls, just hearts laid bare,Feel their pain—show you care.(Verse 2)Hold the weight of every word,Make them feel that they’ve been heard.No need to fix, no need to steer,Hear their soul—then speak it clear.But now I’m ready to truly hear,A deeper listening, sharp and clear.To grasp your essence, I must be still,Let go of my thoughts, surrender my will.No rush, no judgment—just open and rare,Letting you breathe some psychological air.(Chorus)Listen deep, let silence rise,See the truth behind their eyes.No rush, no walls, just hearts laid bare,Feel their pain—show you care.(Verse 3)Hold the weight of every word,Make them feel that they’ve been heard.No need to fix, no need to steer,Hear their soul—then speak it clear.(Outro)Once they finished, and they feel heardOnly now may you speak. Now it’s your turn.
