MAKING FUN
Author(s): Jeremy, Zeb, Micah
Songbook: Coloring the World
KeyWords: Healing,

Spoken
Older Girl: Hey, what's wrong with Melissa?
Looks like she's been crying!
Boy: Ah, she doesn't want to play with us!
Melissa: But they were making fun of me!
Girl: Ah, come on, Melissa, we were just having fun!
Older Girl: Well, you know, it's no fun
If it ends up making somebody cry! You see:

Making fun is just no fun when you see what it's done.
Our teasing games and calling names can really hurt someone.
Sticks and stones can break our bones,
But words with unkind laughter are very real,
And we can feel them hurt a long time after.

Chorus 1
So let's be careful what we say,
Even if the words are just in play.
They may hurt others in some way.

[Repeat Verse]

Chorus 2
So let's be careful when we play,
That in all we do and say,
We don't hurt someone.

Spoken
Boy: You know, she's right! Come on, Melissa,
We're sorry! Let's do something else!
Melissa: Okay! But what will we do?
Girl: Well, why don't you choose a game?
Older Girl: We can all join in and have fun together!
Girl: Come on! Let's give it a try!

[Repeat Verse]

[Repeat Chorus 2]

We don't hurt someone!
