They say stones may break my bones
But my burrow is safe, it is my home
Mocking voices hurt me above all
But I can't just leave, I'm much too small

"Sticks are weak, just like you"
"Stones are strong, like our crew"
"We'll snap you in half like the twig you are"
"Face it, you'll never be a star"

Nuts, they call me, but I'm no squirrel!
I may speak weird but I'm a normal girl!
My voice might be high and I may be oddly strong
But all I really want is to get along

I found me some friends, they say they're a team
The one girl saw me and I could see her eyes gleam
We're fast and strong, brave and smart
Everything we do is a work of art

Sticks and stones may break your bones
But at least they're alright for some lesser-knowns
Sticks are strong, and just like a boomerang
I'll come back to face you again
