Stones and sticks,
May read my lips
But silence can never hear me
Sticks and bones,
May smash my stones
But words can never read me
Reason and rhymes,
May try sometimes
But they can never know me
River and time,
May clean my crimes
But some stains can never leave me
Forever and now,
May they never know how
But hurt can never harm me
Myself and those,
Like sticks and stones,
Sleep will never find me
Stones and sticks,
May read my lips
But silence can never hear me
Sticks and bones,
May smash my stones
But words can never read me
Reason and rhymes,
May try sometimes
But they can never know me
River and time,
May clean my crimes
But some stains can never leave me
Forever and now,
May they never know how
But hurt can never harm me
Myself and those,
Like sticks and stones,
Sleep will never find me
Stones and sticks,
May read my lips
But silence can never hear me
Sticks and bones,
May smash my stones
But words can never read me
Reason and rhymes,
May try sometimes
But they can never know me
River and time,
May clean my crimes
But some stains can never leave me
Forever and now,
May they never know how
But hurt can never harm me
Myself and those,
Like sticks and stones,
Sleep will never find me
Stones and sticks,
May read my lips
But silence can never hear me
Sticks and bones,
May smash my stones
But words can never read me
Reason and rhymes,
May try sometimes
But they can never know me
River and time,
May clean my crimes
But some stains can never leave me
Forever and now,
May they never know how
But hurt can never harm me
Myself and those,
Like sticks and stones,
Sleep will never find me
Stones and sticks,
May read my lips
But silence can never hear me
Sticks and bones,
May smash my stones
But words can never read me
Reason and rhymes,
May try sometimes
But they can never know me
River and time,
May clean my crimes
But some stains can never leave me
Forever and now,
May they never know how
But hurt can never harm me
Myself and those,
Like sticks and stones,
Sleep will never find me
Stones and sticks,
May read my lips
But silence can never hear me
Sticks and bones,
May smash my stones
But words can never read me
Reason and rhymes,
May try sometimes
But they can never know me
River and time,
May clean my crimes
But some stains can never leave me
Forever and now,
May they never know how
But hurt can never harm me
Myself and those,
Like sticks and stones,
Sleep will never find me
