Verse 1

You never can tell when you send a word,

Like an arrow from an unseen bow.

Be it cruel or kind, once it leaves your mind,

There’s no telling where it may go.

It might strike the heart of a friend you love,

Or soothe some stranger’s pain—

A whisper born in a moment’s spark

Can echo again and again.

Chorus

You never can tell what your words will do,

Or the road your actions take.

Every deed is a seed, planted down deep,

Growing choices we all make.

So let your heart be the guide you trust

In the stories your life will tell—

’Cause love or hurt comes back to you…

And you never can tell.

Verse 2

A simple act is an acorn dropped

In God’s good, waiting ground—

You may never see how the branches grow,

But they’ll shade the world around.

And the thoughts you think take flight so fast,

Like doves on open air—

They circle back with the same intent

That you first sent out there.

Chorus

You never can tell what your words will do,

Or the road your actions take.

Every deed is a seed, planted down deep,

Growing choices we all make.

So let your heart be the guide you trust

In the stories your life will tell—

What you send out always returns…

And you never can tell.
