Wayne Watson - Sticks And Stones lyrics

Sticks and stones can break my bones Lies can break my heart Before you fire your poison tongue Contemplate the scar Forest lie in ruin From a careless flame This is our undoing The tongue cannot be tamed Oh, the tongue cannot be tamed Ships upon the seven seas Driven by the wind Mastered by a pilot's hand Submission in the end He can turn the wheel one-handed And the course is easily changed It's Hard to understand it Why the tongue cannot be tamed Oh, the tongue cannot be tamed Fresh water from an unclean well, no Fruit growing on a dying tree No, it'll never be The same breath, one then the other Blessing and cursing We praise God then abuse one another I tell ya, this ought not be, no, no I tell ya, this ought not be, no, no Break the wild one, draw the reign Bid him do your will Yoke the oxen to the chain Cultivate the hill Beast and every creature Move at your command But who will be the teacher Of the wayward tongue of man The wayward tongue Fresh water from an unclean well, no, no Fruit growing on a dying tree No, it'll never be The same breath, one then the other Blessing and cursing We praise God then abuse one another Oh, I tell ya, this ought not be, no Fresh water from an unclean well No, no, no Fruit growing on a dying tree No, it'll never be The same breath, one then the other Blessing and cursing We praise God then abuse one another Oh, I tell ya, this ought not be, no, no, no Ought not be, no, no Ought not be, no, no I tell ya, this ought not be Stick and stones can break my bones Lies can break my heart Lies can break my heart Stick and stones can break my bones Lies can break my heart No, no, no No, no, no, no, no, no, no
