| For the light sleeper, the street sweeper
|
| Promise breaker, promise keeper
|
| The astronaut, the acrobat
|
| The underdog who is coming back
|
| Maybe you’re Hooked On Phonics or Mary Jane;
|
| Coca Cola or cocaine
|
| We’re just a different kind of the same, yeah
|
| Sticks and stones can break you
|
| But words are medicine, words are medicine
|
| When I’m black and blue, I’m broken and bruised
|
| I hear your voice again
|
| Words are medicine
|
| The beautician, the mortician
|
| The blinded sided, the night vision
|
| The baptized, the chicken fried
|
| The rolled tide, the unforgiven
|
| For the girl who is lost in romance novels
|
| The guy who sees through whiskey goggles
|
| We’re just a different kind of the same, yeah
|
| Sticks and stones can break you
|
| But words are medicine, words are medicine
|
| When you’re black and blue, you’re broken and bruised
|
| Just hear my voice again:
|
| Words are medicine
|
| I do. |
| I will
|
| I believe in you still
|
| I have a dream
|
| Imagine
|
| A shiny city on a hill
|
| I’m sorry. |
| Forgive me
|
| I love you
|
| I love you
|
| Words are medicine. |
| Words are medicine
|
| When you’re black and blue, you’re broken and bruised
|
| Just hear my voice again:
|
| Words are medicine. |
| Words are medicine
|
| When we’re black and blue, we’re broken and bruised
|
| I hear your song, my friend
|
| Words are medicine. |
| Words are medicine
|
| Words are medicine. |
| Words are medicine |
