26 letters of the English language.
Twenty-six letters strung in all the right places.
Twenty-six letters strung out in all the wrong places.  
How powerful could twenty-six letters really be?

The power of words is often underestimated.
Fore they could mend a broken heart.  
They could save a life.
And yet, words could start a war.
Words can rip apart the very fabric of your heart.  

Words can break everything inside you.
Or they could fix whatever’s left.
Don’t let these lies fool you.  

Words have meaning.  
Words hurt and words heal.
The wounds are cut open.
The scars are healing.

Words really do hurt.
Believe me when I tell you.
It’s not a pretty picture.

A world full of hateful words.  
A broken heart scattered here and there.
A happy soul left and right.

Words have meaning.
Words are what you are reading.  
Words change the world.
