I found this lovely song by Len Seligman, co-written with Tom Kimmel, who sings harmonies. An upbeat acoustic rocker about “wise speech,” it reminds us to ask 3 questions before speaking: “Is it true? Is it helpful? Is it kind?” Words and music by Len Seligman & Tom Kimmel © 2020 Emerging Light Music (BMI) / Morrissette Music (ASCAP).
Here’s the chorus:
So I ask myself:
Is it true, is it helpful, is it kind?
Don’t want to leave a mess behind
Maybe I’ll press pause
Before I exercise my jaws
Just three simple questions
Save me every time
When I ask myself, “Is it true?
Is it helpful? Is it kind?”
I encourage you to visit Len Seligman’s website to hear the whole song.
