[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1 - Bubba MALE] She had led a little movement For a classroom full of kids Then the boss asked her a question About just what she had did She explained the simple stretching And the talk was calm and plain But her worry wrote a firing No one in that room had named [Chorus - Bubba and Darlene FEMALE harmony] A thought ain't a verdict A fear ain't a fact Ask a question, tell it plainly Let the truth bring you back If there's something worth correcting You can make a better plan A thought ain't a verdict Put the gavel down [Verse 2 - Darlene FEMALE] Next time she would ask permission When the guidelines weren't quite clear There was room for useful learning Without handing life to fear This is an imagined telling From a listening story's spark Not a final word on someone Not a window to their heart [Chorus - duet] A thought ain't a verdict A fear ain't a fact Ask a question, tell it plainly Let the truth bring you back If there's something worth correcting You can make a better plan A thought ain't a verdict Put the gavel down [Instrumental solo and break] [Bridge - intimate then build] Lord, help me check what's certain Help me name what I don't know Let my conscience guide a repair Let the wild prediction go [Final chorus - full duet] A thought ain't a verdict A fear ain't a fact Ask a question, tell it plainly Let the truth bring you back If there's something worth correcting You can make a better plan A thought ain't a verdict Put the gavel down [Outro - resolve naturally] A Thought Ain't a Verdict [Instrumental ending]
