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 pass 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 pass 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
