Lyrics Of Mice – The Great Hendowski

I met a guy with some coins in his can
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 were all made the same
I know it’s tough. 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

This world is not
This world is not my home
I’m just passing through

There’s hope, there’s love
I know there is a void
There’s hope, and there is love
But there’s no void that can’t be covered with love
