Em         D                C
He stands alone outside the blooming yards

Em       D                C
All is calm there on the street

Em           D            C
The shadows pass him hung right over

Em              D                 C
The pain on his face he knew he'd keep

Em           D              C
His hair is long and it's twisted it's twisted

Em          D                C
Around the smile spread cheek to cheek

Em         D              C
Another child another soul grabs a hold

      Em               D        C
To the metal that will end his misery

Verse 2
Em        D          C
How much anger is set aside

Em         D        C
As each one of us cries

Em              D              C
Red light they come and they take him away

Em                        D          C
In the thoughts he'll be better some day

Em              D
Tied tight can't see out your eyes

        C
That he's sure to shine sure to shine

Em                   D                 C
In this deep dark played out reality show

   Em         D             C
So who's the man with the plan

                       Em
eating up all that he can

          D                C
Don't you see don't you see

Interlude-play chorus
C                                     D
Do you ever think that things are meant to be

       C                                 D
I know we all have our reasons why

C                                       D
And now the power of one human being

              C                           D
Has gone and changed so many lives
