World of Hurt

Right or wrong, I've immersed myself in pages of hurt
I see some like myself, and some closer to a burial, covered in dirt
I cry for you all, I've always felt the pain of another
Are we all forsaken, if so I'm your forsaken brother

I want to preach to you words of lessons I've learned
But I know they'll bounce off even after we've been burned
For some theres only one, or maybe two possible cures
As we crawl through life covered in scars and burrs

What I wouldn't give to make a difference to you
And I know, that's funny, considering I'm drowning too
But I always put me second to give a friend a hand
So if I can give you some words, let me pull you from the sand

I speak from experience, please don't doubt my history
It's all on paper, up front, nothing to hide, to you from me
Open heart and spoken mind, enough love to share with all
That's my hand on your shoulder pulling you from this cliff before you fall

Walk with me, talk with me, I'm here for tomorrow now
Think about it, we're already at the bottom no doubt
What's one more day, what else do we have to lose
Hang on to that last hope, at some point we've paid our dues

Let these thoughts sink in, and know my world is shattered too
Some of us actually do walk a mile in each others shoe
Tomorrow maybe we'll receive our blessing, believe a little longer
The future exists for us, hang on a little tighter, believe just a little stronger
