the great H endow ski

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 Ill 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 weve got?
And my reply was quick
Read this book, you were meant to live
It all means so much to me
But note whats written in red
It says…
It speaks of hope, trust, and love,
The fear of never being good enough
We are all made the same
I know its tough, but please dont give up
Dont speak that way, cause I wont allow you
Youre too young to live this way
Just close your eyes and see
The true meaning
Youre too young to live this way
Just look around and see
That life is beauty
How can you smile, when this life is all weve got?
Theres no hole inside, no time thats long enough,
That cant be saved or healed
Theres nothing that cant be covered with love
Dont speak that way, cause I wont allow you
Youre too young to live this way
Just close your eyes and see
The true meaning
Youre too young to live this way
Just look around and see
That life is beauty
This world is not…
This world is not my home
Im just passing through
Theres hope, there is love
I know there is a void
Theres hope, and there is love
But there is no void that cant be covered with love
