Words, Words, Words

from Force Field for Good by Barry Lane

lyrics

You didn’t call me names.
You didn’t punch my arm.
You didn’t tell me lies,
but you really did me harm

‘cause when you talked about me,
out there is cyberspace,
you may as well have stood there
and punched me right in the face.

‘Cause words, words, words
wherever they’re found
they can lift you up
or throw you on the ground
so use your words wisely
and we can still hang around.

Our words are what connect us
wherever we are found.

You said you were so sorry,
you didn’t mean no harm,
it was all a stupid joke,
no cause for great alarm.
I told you I forgive you.
I really meant it too.

But old words can come to haunt us,
It’s time to try out something new.

So think before you speak.
Imagine they are you.
Remember all the words
that make you feel so blue.
Our words can be like wings
that lift hearts to the sky
don’t waste them on the things

that make an angel cry.
Boo hooooooooooo!

You friended me on Facebook.
You gave me a big hug.
We’re buddies now forever.
Sit with me on the rug,
but what about the new kid
who sits there all alone.

Let’s talk to her this morning
and make her feel right at home.

Cause, words, words, words
wherever they’re found
they can lift you up
or throw you on the ground
so use your words wisely
and we can still hang around.

Our words are what connect us
wherever we are found.

Our words are what connect us
wherever we are found.

Barry Lane Vermont

I write songs about kindness for children and songs about hope and justice for adults.

I love Pete Seeger, and believe, as he did, that a single song can help change the world by uniting hearts and minds.


We are the mixed fruit of one tree,

Live in peace and unity.

Forget the old
embrace the new,

Less me, me, me,
more

You, you, you.

For now is the New Day. ... more
