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 says…
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 not…
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
