He finds himself
Between hurricane and harbor
Where the mothers send their daughters off to sleep.
He knows the chance
But the time is now or never
He gives up on this endeavor
He claims the risk to take is far too deep
He’ll sit alone
Between acceptance and sympathy
Where the sounds of the city
Put him to sleep
He’ll rub his eyes (he’ll rub his eyes)
He knows heartbreak and passion
Mixed with a little bit of action
Is all he needs
He finds comfort
In the most dangerous places
Cause he would rather die
Than live the way this world has made him
I can’t pretend that
I know what you’ve been through
I know your heart has taken a lot
It’s not an easy thing to live through
But when push comes to shove
And the great battle begins
I hope you find in your heart
The strength you hold within
He digs his grave
Between hopeful and hopeless
Where the only sign of distress
Is making a move
He’s known the chance
He works hard to keep his chin up
He knows, in time, good things come
To those who wait.
He knows sadness, he knows smiles
He’s walked in your shoes a million and one miles.
I can’t pretend that
I know what you’ve been through
I know your heart has taken a lot
It’s not an easy thing to live through
But when push comes to shove
And the great battle begins
I hope you find in your heart
The strength you hold within
The strength you hold within
