I went for a walk the other day |
|
I saw a man who didn't seem to have a |
|
Reason to smile |
|
After looking at his face |
|
I knew that |
|
If I were him |
|
I couldn't turn my mouth up |
|
I thought |
|
I'd give him some time so |
|
I sat down |
|
Then he started to cry and said he is a |
|
Old man with a young mans heart |
|
You may be wondering how it gets this far |
|
Open an ear boy let me tell you how it goes |
|
It was a rainy night twelve years ago |
|
I had a nice wife, three kids and a good home |
|
I was waiting impatiently the phone rang |
|
The voice was calm and he said |
|
I'm sorry sir your family's gone |
|
They're at a train track, the engine stalled |
|
Nothing at all could be done to save them |
|
Sorry again about this call cause you're a |
|
Young man with an old mans heart |
|
You may be wondering how it gets this hard |
|
Don't you fear son this will pass before you know |
|
Can you imagine |
|
Everything you wanted |
|
Everything you hoped for |
|
Everything you needed |
|
Can you imagine |
|
It all just leaves you drowning |
|
In pools of self destruction |
|
I don't think you can |
|
It wont hurt if you don't want it to |
|
You can stand for your pride or |
|
Lay down a die |
|
Now son you've gotta keep in mind |
|
All the tears |
|
And the pain and the blame |
|
And everything in between |
|
And then you realize no one cares |
|
And I said |
|
Young man with an old mans heart |
|
You may be wondering how it gets this hard |
|
Don't you fear son this will pass before you know |
|
Can you imagine |
|
Everything you wanted |
|
Everything you hoped for |
|
Everything you needed |
|
Can you imagine |
|
It all just leaves you drowning |
|
In pools of self destruction |
|
I don't think you can |
|
I went for a walk the other day |
|
I saw a man who didn't seem to have a |
|
Reason to smile |
|
Have you ever heard of a hurricane |
|
It takes your life and your breath away |
|
Have you ever heard of a hurricane |
|
It takes your life away |
