Lyrics

Elohai, n’tzor l’shoni meira us’fatai midabeir mirmah (x2)

Oh Gd, I know that words can hurt
I also know that words can heal
And sometimes when I speak my mind,
the pain that I caused is real

Elohai, n’tzor l’shoni meira us’fatai midabeir mirmah (x2)

The words I hesitate to say,
Who knows how good they might have been
Or how they might have helped
To turn a frown into a grin

Oh Gd, please guard my toungue
From speaking ill to anyone
Don’t let my lips pass a lie
Or mislead with my reply

Elohai, n’tzor l’shoni meira us’fatai midabeir mirmah (x2)

“Sticks and stones may break my bones”
That’s what they say
But words cut deep, right to our hearts
And those wounds stay..

So help me think before I speak
And let your love show through me

Elohai, n’tzor l’shoni meira us’fatai midabeir mirmah (x2)
Ya ya ya…
Elohai, n’tzor l’shoni meira us’fatai midabeir mirmah (x2)
