I pray in hope you hear me.
I talk in hope you listen.
I sing in hope you'll cheer me.
I cry in hope it glistens.All I ask
Is one true thing
One small task
One push to swingAll I want is him
All I wish is a us
Hold us away from the rim
Tare us away from the fussMake him smile
Far past his days
Let go the pile
That his mind decaysLet drop the bars
To his steely cage
That hold his feelings
And show only rageI know he's there
Just now he's not
This world just gets to him
In a trap he's caughtStuck here
In fear
He'll never feel again
Stuck here
In fear
His life is on pendSwayed by the thought
He lay here distraught
Smiling through tears
With these simple fears
Of family long forgot
Of a life forever sought
A future to share
Or a heart to lay at rotPeople walk over him
As he lay still
Words as sharp as knives
Ready for the kill
Yet I hold him back
Keep his head chill
Ready to defend him
To take that deadly pillIn my head
I see him
If locked in shed
I'll save him
If I lay dead
A road, I'd pave himIf he can't get out of bed
I'll wake him
If not fed
I'll take himSomewhere else
Far away from here
Somewhere else
Where neither will shed a tear
Somewhere else
That direction is clear
Somewhere else
Where you will no longer live in fearIf this one favor you can not grant
If this one wish you can not give
Shatter me is all I'll chant
For you were the one who bestowed this ribJust make him laugh
Make him smile
Give him a life now
That's worth his whileA happy life
Full of grace
A better life
With little chaseI know one day
You'll hear me clear
I know one day
I'll be up their
Floating around
With little fear
Wondering how
I even got hereHelp me now
Is all I ask
Help me here
With this small taskCause it's to you I pray
To you I beg
Here on this day
Brought down a pegI wish him happiness
Please take mine
Give him all
All my timeI pray in hope you hear me.
I talk in hope you listen.
I sing in hope you'll cheer me.
I cry in hope it glistens.
