A young man trying to get ahead but only falling behind
because of everything thats been implanted in his mind
i wish there were something i could do to save him like cause time to rewind
so that maybe some dream he may one day seek to find
for maybe if he had a dream he would also have hope
maybe just maybe i could prevent his reach for the rope
i want to reach out to him hold him close encourage him to try
i hear him crying out for help but no one else can hear his cry
he has to hold on to know he really does belong
i want to help him he needs to know he has done no wrong
he spoke about dying he speaks about pain how pain is his best friend
i understand why he feels this way i really do but this way it should not end
for if he was to attempt suicide and die
you know what so would i.
