Rains Hurricane
I went for a walk the other day
Saw a man who didn't seem to have a reason to smile
Now 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 and he started to cry and said he is a
Old man with a young man's heart
Who maybe wondered how it gets this hard
Open an ear boy, let me tell you how it goes
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 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 man's heart
Who maybe wondered how it gets this hard
Never to 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
Well son you gotta keep in mind
All the tears, all the pain and the blame and everything in between
And then you realize no one cares
And I said
Young man with an old man's heart
Who maybe wondered how it gets this hard
Never to 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
