Sticks and stones break your bones
So do daddy’s hands
It’s said that words don’t hurt in life
But do if they are commands
People push and shove in life
Try to get ahead
But sometimes the ones they step on
Need picking up instead
Daddy’s hands do many things
Mommy’s close their eyes
How come the pain doesn’t stop
When your daddy dies
The hurt is deep inside you
Down inside your being
I don’t think it ever goes away
My heart will never sing
