The Power of Our Words

(verse)
Words can scar the heart
And supply regret too
Words can inflict a lot more pain
Than fists can ever do

Words tear lives from each other
Rip reputations to shreds
Words can kill what was once believed
And can't bring back what's dead

(chorus)
Words that are smeared with jealousy and hate
Have everlasting impressions one heard
It's given to all of us, deserving or not
The power of simply our words

(verse)
But words can lift up the spirit
That has wandered far from home
Words can let a lost one know
That they are not alone

Words can inspire others to help
And push them to do what's right
Words can give a smile to a child
Who cannot see the light

(chorus)
Words smeared with love and hope
Have everlasting impressions once heard
It's given to all of us, deserving or not
The power of simply our words

(verse)
So you remember that you can change the world
When you decide how you want them to be used
Always look inside your heart
When you find yourself getting confused

So stand up tall, hold your head high
And let the world hear your voice
You can change the world to a better place
If you make the right choice

(chorus)
If we all learn to love and care
We won't regret what's hear
What is ours we must share
The power of simply our worlds
