Sticks and Stones

Sticks and stones May break my bones But words will never hurt me Obviously the man who said that Never heard all the terrible things That those kids said to me. Stick and stones Will break your bones But they will heal faster Than the words that hurt me; Who ever said it the opposite way Must of never been bullied like me; Pretending to be strong, Just going along, Trying to sing a song. But the words, they cut you like a knife They made you, Hate your life And as a small child than, You still understood The cruelty of adulthood. They called you names And tried to beat you up in vain; But the bullies never prevailed You had caught them by their tale And than the names stopped And all the beatings they gave you dropped You never got hurt again But sometimes you still wish you couldn't make it to the end But you kept treading water baby No bullies could get over you love For you are stronger than the heavens above You are, So loved They will never look at you the same way again The bullying has finally come to an end
