Tongue like a blade A weapon unseen Words cut deeper Than wounds could ever mean My careless voice A torrent in the night Leaves scars unseen A slowly fading light Words hold power More than I could know They can build you up Or lay your spirit low They echo on, a haunting melody Oh, the weight of words They set or steal you free Behind my eyes The guilt begins to burn A careless phrase A lesson I will learn Your spirit dimmed The sparkle in your eye How could I forget Words can make you cry Words hold power More than I could know They can build you up Or lay your spirit low They echo on, a haunting melody Oh, the weight of words They set or steal you free I see the ruin The path my words have made A broken spirit Where confidence had played But in the ashes A flicker starts to rise I'll fight for healing And watch your strength arise Words hold power More than I could know They can build you up Or lay your spirit low They echo on, a haunting melody Oh, the weight of words They set or steal you free I won't be silenced But my voice will transform From a careless blade To shelter in the storm With every note A promise I will bind Words hold power More than I could know They can build you up Or lay your spirit low They echo on, a haunting melody Oh, the weight of words They set or steal you free
