Lyrics

[00:07.13] I met a guy with some coins in his hand
[00:09.82] His face was weathered, dark, and sad
[00:12.84] He looked up to me and asked
[00:14.65] Something I'll never forget
[00:17.65] He said,
[00:18.78] How can you smile with your lips wrapped around a loaded gun?
[00:24.71] How can you smile?
[00:26.28] Look at this life, is this all we've got?
[00:31.09] And my reply was quick
[00:33.34] Read this book, you were meant to live
[00:35.96] It all means so much to me
[00:38.34] But note what's written in red
[00:40.90] It says…
[00:41.97] It speaks of hope, trust, and love,
[00:44.97] The fear of never being good enough
[00:47.84] We are all made the same
[00:50.24] I know it's tough, but please don't give up
[00:54.73] Don't speak that way, 'cause I won't allow you
[01:06.04] You're too young to live this way
[01:10.54] Just close your eyes and see
[01:13.68] The true meaning
[01:17.68] You're too young to live this way
[01:22.29] Just look around and see
[01:25.24] That life is beauty
[01:29.93] How can you smile, when this life is all we've got?
[01:41.54] There's no hole inside, no time that's long enough,
[01:46.73] That can't be saved or healed
[01:49.48] There's nothing that can't be covered with love
[01:53.61] Don't speak that way, 'cause I won't allow you
[02:05.17] You're too young to live this way
[02:09.50] Just close your eyes and see
[02:12.50] The true meaning
[02:16.62] You're too young to live this way
[02:21.18] Just look around and see
[02:23.81] That life is beauty
[02:28.81] This world is not…
[02:34.25] This world is not my home
[02:36.62] I'm just passing through
[02:51.58] There's hope, there is love
[02:54.33] I know there is a void
[02:57.33] There's hope, and there is love
[02:59.64] But there is no void that can't be covered with love
