Words
Words can be like punches
And would you say that they can hurt as much
Would you feel better laughing with the crowd
Or having a strong heart and saying
That's enough
A bully is a jackal
Preying on the sick and weak
And when he speaks
He highlights every flaw
It's the meat between his jaws
He reckons its your fault he's hungry
But Words can be like tended gardens
And would you say that they can can heal the soul
Find pieces of a shattered heart
While lightning strikes and thunder rolls
Claim back a suicidal from the edge
Words can be the most precious thing on earth
To uplift the downtrodden
And bless what was cursed
We are judged by our actions
But some actions are heard
Would you believe a disposition can be changed
From the power of your words
