A War You Can Win

A war you can win He says the words, and he feels he's right he says the words, that stab the heart He doesn't care, about hurting feelings He smugly says, he just plays a part He plays it cool thinking he's so clever but, he's just a fool fooling only a fool A stupid man who'd say anything for fame With a tongue that is oh, so cruel Chorus He say's that the tongue really can't hurt anyone and all of us should just grow thicker skin but, we both know that cruel words can be a sin and this is a war he can't win This is a war you can win! So next time that you hear him speaking with his words that stab like a sword You can protect your heart and your mind Refuse to give him your time When people are cruel with the words that they use Its rightly called a verbal abuse So take a stand against this kind of sin cause this is a war you can win! Yes, this is a war you can win! Chorus repeat John Derek Hamilton September 30,2016

Words can hurt deeper than any sword, but so right it is up to us how we let them affect us...Bravo John!...I don't know how to use soup-mail, but just wanted to say, I have never entered a contest until I entered your latest song contest. It is not my favorite song, and I don't know if it quite fits your exact criteria, it's just something I wrote while singing a song I couldn't remember. But it really is a song , and you can hear me perform it as well. Have great day!

Hi John, You have penned a well written lyric with a good message. Bullying of any kind it wrong. " I loved the repeated lines of letting the one getting bullied know that they can win. They need to know they can "win" the battle of being bullied. Excellent job. Thanks for writing this song. A without a doubt seven:-)Alexis
