He said, I know you think what you say is true
But I’ve been right there, same place as you
Can’t win the fight, no point to life
No way out, no it doesn’t look bright
He said, I know you think you’ve hit a dead end
But turn around now, there’s a choice ahead
I see now what I didn’t see then
I forgive you now, I’ll help you make amends
With the strangers around you, crying in pain
Don’t take that path, no, it’s not your day
It’s your day to help, your day to survive
Don’t you see what you want, is to come alive
So I took that advice with me down a new path
Just straight up and left, no I didn’t look back
My spine shook alive, this ain’t insanity
I’m on the next connection to humanity
I’ve set off looking for human connection
The true addiction that we call the medicine
Wasn’t finding it here, no it’s not your fault
We’ve all got our path and mine’s not the default
The strangers around, they sure look like me
Told myself too many times, just wait patiently
Now I know how wrong I was, see the freedom clause
Take off running, screw all the haters ‘cause
I know how to live among strangers, locals, and enemies
When it comes down to it we’ve all the same identity
Keep the flow smooth, make it up, love unconditionally
Then it resolves, where do you think I got this melody?
Now I’ve found my purpose, found my way
What I always thought it was but was afraid to say.
I see a stranger lying there, he looks like me
I walk up to him, and can’t help but say:
I know you think you’ve hit a dead end
But turn around now, there’s a choice ahead
All that pain you think you caused, a misunderstanding at heart,
I forgive you now, I’ll help you make amends
With those strangers around, I think you know their name
Don’t take that path, no, it’s not your day
It’s your day to help, your day to survive
Don’t you see what you want, is to come alive
