This is for you Robin

I'm a genie in a magic lamp
I'm a bird thats in a cage
I'm a man who's really Peter pan
And im a kid trapped in a game

I'm someone who wears a smile
Even though there's so much pain
And I may not be here tomorrow
So can I make you laugh today?

I'm a man of many faces
And sometimes I forget my own
I'm a man that can find a voice
That you will always know
But one thing that I cannot find
Is any peace to be near
But the thing that gives me the greatest joy
Is your laughter through the years

I'm a man with a broadcast
Telling you good morning every day
I'm a man who can "patch" you up
When your blue skies are turning gray

And still I wonder what dreams may come
But I believe I've lived all of mine
But I dont worry if there ever were some
That I left so far behind

I'm a man of many faces
And sometimes I forget my own
I'm a man that can find a voice
That you will always know
But one thing that I cannot find
Is any peace to be near
But the thing that gives me the greatest joy
Is your laughter through the years

If I could
I would pick
A garden just for you
The grass would match your eyes
And the violets would be so blue

If I could
I would walk a mile for you
Hoping just maybe
That you would walk with me two

And if I could give you the world
I wouldn't stop
Until the oceans all ran dry
And I would give my life
Just so you wouldn't have to cry
If I could

If I could
I would give you my eyes
So you would see how much
You mean to me

And if I could
I would give you my heart
So maybe then you'd see
That our love was meant to be

And if I could
I would collect all the rain
So it wouldn't pour on your parade
I would extinguish the sun
So all there would be was shade

If it was up to me
All the stars would spell out your name
That's how my world would be
And it would never be the same

And if I could give you the world
I wouldn't stop
Until the oceans all ran dry
And I would give my life
Just so you wouldn't have to cry
If I could

Who holds time
When time is no more
Who holds the key
When life closes the door
Who are we to be who we are

Who stays behind
While others flee
What is this flame
Burning inside of me
Who are we to be who we are

Soon one day
There will be a price to be paid
The battle won
The people slain
The broken hearts
The early graves
And when we stand on the field
Then we will ask what is real

Who are we to win this war

Where is this hero
Who will come save the day
Who will lead us
When they fall astray
Who are we to be who we are

What is the price
That others will pay
One man's own life
Do we betray
Who are we to be who we are

And when we stand
In victory
Then we will understand
What is meant to be, we will be free
The time has come
The moments here
We feel so numb
But the choice is clear
Who are we to be who we are

Can you hear it
Does it drive you mad?
Do you see it
Does it make you sad?
When the world is burning
And everything is left unbalanced
Can anyone break the silence

Did you see it on the news today
They say all hope has gone away
One thousand people in their sheets
**** our people in the streets
And it seems in the world
The only thing left is violence
Can anyone break the silence

Last night I saw choppers fill the skies
They don't care they don't know why
People lock their doors
And throw away the key
They close their eyes so they won't see
And it sounds so absurd
That we **** each other over diamonds
Can anyone break the silence?

A tender tune soothes a savage soul.

Bobby loved Susan
But Susan hated Bobby
She hated that he loved her
Like it was some kind of hobby

Bobby bit a bullet
And his love for her  died with him
They were learning how to hate
And they were loving every minute

Perry went to prison
He got in a nasty habit
He was ripping off liquor stores
And the state wouldn't have it

Whitney said she'd wait for Perry
But Whitney was a cheater
She fell in love with Barry 
Who always loved to beat her
They were both in love with pain
But they were hating every minute

Aaron was afraid
Cause Tina had a temper
He hated being alone with Tina
She broke his arm in November

Tinas at the center now
A neighbor called the cops
He looked at another woman
She punched him in the chops
Tina was is first love
And he hated being in it
He was afraid of being in love
And more afraid of being beaten

Some die in traffic
Others die by needles
And others die by suicide
Over something completely needless

Some will bite a bullet
Some may get the chair
Some might be afraid of dying
Some don't even care

Before you can hold the torch for someone while they walk in darkness, you have to walk through it first to know where it leads.
