He seemed fine with that easy smile and natural slump in his shoulders
Goofing and playing around with friends
Until you see him
Crying his prayers with hopeless abandon
What do you do?
She said she was fine
While downing bottles of wine
What do you do?
When his best friend
Committed suicide
What do you do?
When she cuts and barfs
Through tears all night
What do you do?
When the child sees a marriage failing
His parents aren't prevailing
What do you do?
To see the hurt in this broken world
From a satellite
What do you do?
The world's gone to shit they say.
No, the world has always been there.
With age comes the loss of innocence.
The burden of truth.
What do you do?
To know someone is to know their pain
And we're struggling, drowning
Side by side but never more alone
What do you do?
Tell me, I beg.
Answer me, I plead.
What do you do?
