I met a guy with some coins in his hand
|
His face was weathered, dark, and sad
|
He looked up to me and asked
|
Something I'll never forget
|
He said,
|
How can you smile with your lips wrapped around a loaded gun?
|
How can you smile?
|
Look at this life, is this all we've got?
|
And my reply was quick
|
Read this book, you were meant to live
|
It all means so much to me
|
But note what's written in red
|
It saysa˘ć|
|
It speaks of hope, trust, and love,
|
The fear of never being good enough
|
We are all made the same
|
I know it's tough, but please don't give up
|
Don't speak that way, 'cause I won't allow you
|
You're too young to live this way
|
Just close your eyes and see
|
The true meaning
|
You're too young to live this way
|
Just look around and see
|
That life is beauty
|
How can you smile, when this life is all we've got?
|
There's no hole inside, no time that's long enough,
|
That can't be saved or healed
|
There's nothing that can't be covered with love
|
Don't speak that way, 'cause I won't allow you
|
You're too young to live this way
|
Just close your eyes and see
|
The true meaning
|
You're too young to live this way
|
Just look around and see
|
That life is beauty
|
This world is nota˘ć|
|
This world is not my home
|
I'm just passing through
|
There's hope, there is love
|
I know there is a void
|
There's hope, and there is love
|
But there is no void that can't be covered with love
|
