Oh, the light sleeper, the street sweeper, the promise breaker, the promise keeper,
the astronaut, the acrobat, the underdog who's 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.
But words are medicine.
Words are medicine.
And I'm black and blue.
I'm broken and bruised.
I hear your voice again.
Words are medicine.
The fuchsia.
The mortician.
The blindsided.
The night vision.
The baptized.
The chicken fried.
The roll tide.
The unforgiven.
For the girl who's 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.
But words are medicine.
Words are medicine.
You're black and blue.
You're broken and bruised.
Just hear my voice again.
Words you never said
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 you never said
Words of medicine
You're black and blue
You're broken and bruised
Just hear my voice again
Words of medicine
Words of medicine
Words of medicine
We're black and blue
We're black and blue
We're broken and bruised
I hear your song, my friend
Words of medicine
Words of medicine
Words of medicine

Words of medicine
Words of medicine
Words of medicine
Words of medicine
Words of medicine


Words of medicine
Words of medicine
I'll see you next time.
