They say words can hurt, but sticks and stones
Can't break the truth beneath our bones
Free speech, it's what keeps us real
Opinions fly, yeah, but it's no big deal
If a word cuts deep, take a look inside
Maybe it's a truth we're tryin' to hide
Sticks and stones, let 'em fall
Words can't hurt if we stand tall
If it's true and it hits home
Fix the truth, don't cast a stone
Feels suspicious when we're quick to fight
Maybe we're embarrassed, knowin' they're right
If a word can shake what we believe
Maybe it's ourselves we need to relieve
Trollin' on a screen won't change what's wrong
If it's botherin' you, gotta look where you belong
Sticks and stones, let 'em fall
Words can't hurt if we stand tall
If it's true and it hits home
Fix the truth, don't cast a stone
Feels suspicious when we're quick to fight
Maybe we're embarrassed, knowin' they're right
If a word can shake what we believe
Maybe it's ourselves we need to relieve
Trollin' on a screen won't change what's wrong
If it's botherin' you, gotta look where you belong
Sticks and stones, let 'em fall
Words can't hurt if we stand tall
If it's true and it hits home
Fix the truth, don't cast a stone
Opinions fly like sparks in the air
But freedom of speech, it's only fair
Don't let offense rule the day
Truth and growth find a better way
Sticks and stones, let 'em fall
Words can't hurt if we stand tall
If it's true and it cuts you down
Take the lesson, don't play the clown
We all got things we don't wanna see
But facin' it head-on, that's what makes us free
If we hide from the truth, pretend it's not there
We're buildin' our walls on thin air
So here's to free speech, let it ring out loud
No need to hide behind the crowd
If words find truth, don't run away
Face it head-on, come what may
We all got things we don't wanna see
But facin' it head-on, that's what makes us free
