I went for a walk the other day
I saw a man who didn't seem to have a
Reason to smile
After looking at his face I knew that
If I were him I couldn't turn my mouth up
I thought i'd give him some time so I sat down
Then he started to cry and said he is a
Old man with a young mans heart
You may be wondering how it gets this far
Open an ear boy let me tell you how it goes
It was a rainy night twelve years ago
I had a nice wife, three kids and a good home
I was waiting impatiently the phone rang
The voice was calm and he said
I'm sorry sir your family's gone
They're at a train track, the engine stalled
Nothing at all could be done to save them
Sorry again about this call cause you're a
Young man with an old mans heart
You may be wondering how it gets this hard
Don't you fear son this will pa** before you know
Can you imagine
Everything you wanted
Everything you hoped for
Everything you needed
Can you imagine
It all just leaves you drowning
In pools of self destruction
I don't think you can
It wont hurt if you don't want it to
You can stand for your pride or
Lay down a die
Now son you've gotta keep in mind
All the tears
And the pain and the blame
And everything in between
And then you realize no one cares
And I said
Young man with an old mans heart
You may be wondering how it gets this hard
Don't you fear son this will pa** before you know
Can you imagine
Everything you wanted
Everything you hoped for
Everything you needed
Can you imagine
It all just leaves you drowning
In pools of self destruction
I don't think you can
I went for a walk the other day
I saw a man who didn't seem to have a
Reason to smile
Have you ever heard of a hurricane
It takes your life and your breath away
Have you ever heard of a hurricane
It takes your life away
