My Words and Actions

[Verse 1]
I walk into the lunchroom, I wanna be seen
Got a lot on my mind, just tryin’ to fit in
Sometimes I talk just to get a laugh
But the words I choose can take the wrong path

[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t mean to push them away
But now they don’t wanna play

[Chorus]
My words and actions, they’re part of who I am
They can build a bridge, or break a friend
If I stop and think, I’ve got the power
To make a good choice in that moment, that hour
Yeah, I can be kind, I can be strong
And I can find a place where I belong

[Verse 2]
I used to joke in ways that crossed the line
Thought it made me cool, thought it made me shine
But now I see the looks, the walking away
They don’t feel safe with the things I say

[Pre-Chorus]
But I’ve got the strength to change today
I know there’s a better way

[Chorus]
My words and actions, they’re part of who I am
They can open hearts, or hurt a friend
If I stop and think, I’ve got the power
To build a new world from this very hour
Yeah, I can be kind, I can be true
And I can make a friend or maybe two

[Bridge] (slow it down)
“Is this kind? Is this fair?
Would I say it if a teacher was there?”
I’ll breathe in deep, let the bad stuff go
Choose the better words—I’m startin’ to grow

[Final Chorus] (big rock finish)
My words and actions, they’re part of who I am
They show the world just where I stand
If I stop and think, I’ve got the power
To change the game, to own my hour
Yeah, I can be kind, I can be strong
And I’ll find a place where I belong!

Where I belong... yeah!
