of mice & men
the great hendowski
I met a guy with some coins in his hand His face was weathered, dark, and sad He walked 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
