Of Mice & Men - The Great Hendowski [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I met a guy with some coins in his can
His face was weathered, dark and sad
He looked up to me and asked something I'll never forget
He said, "How can you smile with your lips
Wrapped around a loaded gun? How can you smile?
Look at this life, is this all we've got?"

And my reply was quick
Read this book, you were meant to live
It all means so much to me
But note what's written in red, it says...
It speaks of hope, trust and love
The fear of never being good enough
We were all made the same, I know it's tough
Please don't give up!

Don't speak that way
Cause I won't allow you

You're too young to live this way
Just close your eyes and see the true meaning
You're too young to live this way
Just look around and see that life is beauty

How can you smile when this life is all we've got?
There's no hole inside, no time that's long enough
That can be saved or healed, there's nothing that
Can't be covered with love!

Don't speak that way
Cause I won't allow you

You're too young to live this way
Just close your eyes and see the true meaning
You're too young to live this way
Just look around and see that life is beauty

This world is not, this world is not
My home, I'm just passing through!
There's hope, there's love, I know there is a void
There's hope and there is love
But there's no void that can't be covered with love!
