if I can choose the way

if I can choose the way we communicate
I would choose sign language

if I can choose the language we speak
I would choose a language that you are unfamiliar with

if that can slow you down
make you think carefully
and you will stop rattling on

if it can helps you sort out your thoughts
stop all the suppression
I would choose to listen with my heart

If I can choose the way...
I would choose silence
