Lyrics
The Crippling
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was crippled as a small child, by the lies that were fed to me
And at the end of this long life, I’m still the blind one that couldn’t see
Always told I was the problem, that I ruined my parents fun
I’m the leper of my family, don’t want to hurt no one
What we say
What we say can make or break
What we say can find the gold in others
What we say can crush a broken mind
Always thought that I deserved this, some kind of sick and demented joke
And I was said to be worthless, until the words you spoke
What we say
What we say can make or break
What we say can find the gold in others
What we say can crush a broken mind
The words were said that would change my life
(What we say)
The words were said that left my past behind
(What we say)
Promise blooms when it touches water
(What we say)
These words were said to me
(What we say)
Stand up and walk
Stand up and walk
Walk with me
Stand up and walk
Stand up and walk
Walk with me
Stand up and walk
Stand up and walk
Walk with me
Stand up and walk
Stand up and walk
Walk with me
Stand up and walk
Stand up and walk
Walk with me
Stand up and walk
Stand up and walk
Walk with me
