Paycheck to paycheck, three jobs a day He's the ransom for his family's pain In the coldest world with the warmest heart He puts to shame what you consider hard

He's the man that you don't see in the mirror While the world was scream death, he chose a different song to hear He's the band that's playing while the ship sinks The song of hope forever sings He taught the sun to shine

Now please teach this son to shine

How can this world never break your warm heart in this frigid fucking place? You're like the river: always flowing and growing, never changing, rearranging How can this world never take your solid stance in these turbulent times? You're like the tree in the burning forest that never was burned down

And what he said to me was this: "Just love the world that won't love you back"

Old man take a look at my life, I'm nothing like you are Take a look at my life, I'm so very fucking far From the person I aspire to be Unbreakable
