He stands alone outside the blooming yards
Em D C
All is calm there on the street
Em D C
The shadows pass him hung right over
Em D C
The pain on his face he knew he'd keep...
Em D C
His hair is long, and it's twisted, it's twisted
Em D C
Around the smile spread cheek to cheek
Em D C
Another child, another soul, grabs a hold
Em D C
To the metal that will end his misery...

To watch him as he leaves this life he knew

How much anger is set aside

As each one of us cries

Red light they come and they take him away

In the thoughts, he'll be better, some day.

Tied tight, can't see out your eyes

That he's sure to shine, sure to shine
Em D C
In this deep dark, played out, reality show

So, who's the man, with the plan,

eating up all that he can?

Don't you see, don't you see...

I know we all have our reasons why

And now the power of one human being

Has gone and changed so many lives...
