lyrics

Snot runnin down your face
Piercing yet vacant blue eyes
I don’t got a lot
Compared to some
But I’m blessed beyond reason
Damned be my dark side
It loves that / woes me
woes me throw a pity party
In my name
Knick knack paddy whack
Where is my bone?
So I share with you
A meal that’s warm
And a lil cup of coffee
yeah I know it aint a lot
But I’m a silly man
Yeah I’m under-cover
Wanna hypnotize you
With my own eyes
Wanna show you
That I believe in you
So as I’m leavin, I shake your hand
Look into your eyes
And say, hang in there, man
Hang in there
I know You’re gonna make it
I know You’re gonna make it

I know I’m just
A drop in the ocean
I’m just a man
With a little emotion
A vision of a brotherhood
One love under heaven
What if heaven could be here
.. and we threw it all away
What if hell was on earth too
What if it had a lot to do
with the choices we make
And how we treat each other
I don’t believe in violence
I don’t believe in change
acquired through means
involving gun barrels
or threats of prison time
So there’s not much I can do besides treat my fellow humans right
Shit I aint perfect—far from it
But when I saw you strugglin
Thought I’d make the most of it
Now, wherever you are, hang in there
I know You’re gonna make it
I know You’re gonna make it

Yeah, maybe in a couple months
Bump into ya randomly
And barely recognize
Wanna see that sparkle
That light in your eyes
Glow like the sun
Breathin air like a newborn
That kick in your step
Like when you were fourteen
I asked if you had any hobbies, or sports you used to play
A gentle reminder
What we used to be like
Back in the day
Before the cynicism took hold
Before the world turned cold,
full of darkness and pain
Maybe together we could make a change
I’m in need of salvation
And your life looks like it could use a little savin
Maybe we could trade
I know You’re gonna make it
