If I gave my life meaning
Could I put it into songs
If we held our hands together
Would we try to get along
If giving kindness serving fellow man
Would we all get along fine
To make the world so strong
If it's true it'll undo wrongs
I'm not ashamed of doing right
To help someone who does need
I don't mind if not return
Since I'm down on my knees

If you trust me,
Then hold my hand.
Then sparrows are fools,
Well, what am I.
You and I lost,
In that same Paradyme.
But, if you believe,
With heart and soul.
Cling tight to me,
And never let go.
The cost to great,
And hard to bear.
What would world be,
Without you ever near.
No matter what happens,
Well, remember just this.
Everything filled with goodness,
Life filled with bliss.

I scream to laugh
I burn to cry
I long for tears
From both my eyes
My heart gets hardened
As I'm turning cold
Hair is still thinning
I'm getting too old
But not to worry
I have a cure
It's just a pill
It makes me slur
But, there's a hope
It's called a dance
But, I can't move
It's called fat chance

Knock on wood
We're still alive
Live to breathe
And still survive
So panic now
Cut your throat
Listen to me
I'm on dope
Eleven years sober
Yes it true
Don't do drugs
You'll turn blue
I take medication
To be alive
So live clean
And you'll survive
When you're old
You'll turn frail
When you die
You're heart prevails.
