A powerful song about the wounds words can leave where nobody else can see.Bones may heal, but cruel words can echo through someone’s mind for decades.Insults can steal dignity, belonging, identity and even a person’s sense of worth.The tongue may be invisible, but it carries the power to wound or to heal.Yet kind words can be just as lasting — “You matter,” “I believe in you,” “You are loved.”One encouraging word can change someone’s direction and breathe life back into them.“Words will never hurt me” — never have I heard a bigger lie.
LYRICS
Wounds will scar the body. Words scar the unseen parts. A sword cuts flesh once. Words can cut repeatedly in memory The tongue is invisible, yet it leaves some of the deepest wounds. Sticks and stones can break my bones But words still echo when I’m alone… Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Never have I heard a bigger lie! Never have I heard a bigger lie! Ill words can echo in someone’s mind for decades. Insults hurt deep, take away dignity Insults hurt deep, stealing belonging Insults hurt deep, shuttering identity Insults hurt deep, questions purpose Insults hurt deep, doubt love Insults hurt deep, empty self-worth Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Never have I heard a bigger lie! Never have I heard a bigger lie! Ill words can echo in someone’s mind for decades. Reckless words pierce like a sword. The tongue has the power of life and death. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Never have I heard a bigger lie! Never have I heard a bigger lie! Gentle words are a tree of life. An encouraging word can change someone’s direction Kind words stay, I’m proud of you Kind words stay, You matter Kind words stay, Don’t give up Kind Words stay, I forgive you Gentle words are a tree of life. An encouraging word change someone’s direction Kind words stay, I believe in you Kind words stay, I trust you Kind words stay, You are strong Kind words stay, You are loved Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
