Of Mice & Men - The Great Hendowski lyrics

rate me

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
