One Kind Word

[Verse 1]
I see your eyes, I feel your pain
It's tough to be alone
Target on your back, my friend
Through no fault of your own
You hold your breath and close those eyes
And long for yesterday
And pray the ones who keep you down
Retreat and walk away

[Chorus]
One cruel word can tear your world apart
Leave you in the dark
But I know that
One kind word can mend a broken heart

[Verse 2]
Don't be scared to tell me that
You feel afraid today
And you can tell me disappear
And I will go away
Wish that I could be the one
Who takes you underwing
If I could make the hurting stop
You wouldn't feel the sting

[Chorus]
One cruel word can tear your world apart
Leave you in the dark
But I know that
One kind word can mend a broken heart

[Bridge]
I see the magic in you anyway (Anyway)
A phoenix from the ashes here and now (Now)
I count the days 'til you can rise and truly fly away (Truly fly away)
From those who think they're holier than thou
(Than thou, than thou, than thou)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Ooh, I know that
One cruel word can tear your world apart
Leave you in the dark (Leave you in the dark)
And I know that
One kind word can mend a broken heart
Your broken heart
