Stitches
Adam Brand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From a barbed wire fence when I was eight years old
I must have ran a mile just crying in my torn shirt
'Till I heard the words tell me where it hurts.
If there was a scratch or a bruise on my skin
Mama would put me back together again
All it took was her prayers and her kisses
I took Sherry Johnson to the high school dance
But she left early with my best friend
I must of drove ten miles to get my mind off her
But it didn't work 'till I heard the words tell me where it hurts
She could mend a broken heart, fix a bicycle wreck,
Funny now but back then it seemed life or death
I've seen her sew rags into riches
It would heel me just like stitches.

The singer ran for almost a mile, crying and in his torn shirt, until someone asked him to point out where it hurts. This simple gesture of acknowledging his pain gave him relief, and he was able to cope with the injury. The second stanza talks about how his mother would heal him whenever he had scratches or bruises. Her kisses and prayers acted as stitches, holding him together and helping him get better.

This reminded him of his mother's healing powers and helped him cope with the rejection. The final stanza talks about how the power of love can turn rags into riches.
