Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Words are like a sharpened blade,

They can wound or take a life.

But they hold a power greater —

To bring healing, peace, and light.

Not the wounds of flesh and bone,

Not the sick or lost in fear,

But the pain of hearts alone,

Of the ones we once held dear.

Careless words we cast aside,

Turn to ashes all around.

And too late we realize,

It’s my friend who’s now struck down.

Chorus

Loud words hurt much deeper,
