Words to Mend by Aija Mayrock Lyrics

We tear down others
because since birth
we are taught
to tear down ourselves

everyone has a story
and you don’t get to know how it goes

choose to speak with kindness and ease
kindness and ease
is not always how peoples lives are going to be

before you use your words as weapon
let your heart step in
check in within

cruelty
comes
from
our very own
wounds
we tear down others
because since birth
we are taught
to tear down ourselves

you might believe the words you speak are weak
but the echos of word
can start revolutions

it may surprise you
but most people
are wounded
and those wounds are concealed

we tear down others
if we choose
hate over healing
cruelty over compassion

use your words to mend
you and you alone hold all that power
