Some words are hidden
Some words are spoken
Some words are given
Some words are broken
Words can be golden
Words can speak hate
Words can be taken
And seal our fate
Words can be twisted
To fit the occasion
They are just tools
Of human persuasion

Some words live on
Some die at our feet
But once they are said
There is no retreat
They can't be recalled
After they're heard
They won't be forgotten
You may be assured

I said some words
And now they haunt me
Because they were lies
Which torture and taunt me
I wanted protection
To safeguard my pride
Now someone I love
Has been denied

Be careful with words
And use them well
Some words fly to Heaven
Some take us to Hell
