I woke the beast without a plan
Out of ammo and no stones left to cast
Empty handed I ran
I'd call down lightning
But I'm too scared of the flash

And all I wanted was peace of mind
To be someone you could believe
To be kind
Still if I measure the world by what it does
But say my intentions are enough
Then who am I to judge what's right

How did I get so mean
It seems like yesterday we used to agree
Well now my heart's on my sleeve
And there's no unsewing it
Without ripping the seam

And I've tried my hardest
To turn my cheek
But it's been three years
And I still feel the sting
No matter how much I want
To believe the best
I always assume the worst instead
And I'm tired of trying
To keep the slate clean

Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words will destroy my soul
So help me say 
They know not what they do
And let it go
I'm not even sure I know
What I should be standing for
Surely how I love my
Flesh and blood matters more

I'll take the gunpowder out
If it's not too late
To locate common ground
These filthy rags don't amount
Cause only one judge
Is fit to wear the gown

And I think he'll measure by love and time
And I think you'll give account for yours
And not for mine
So if four minutes of helping
Can do more good
Than four years spent talking would
I'll roll up my sleeves
Instead of debating who is right
I'd rather love and be wrong
Than do nothing and be right
