Hurricane Lyrics

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 goesCan 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 canIt 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 knowCan 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 canNow 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 knowCan 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
