Lyrics

I was sittin in the subway
and the downwind was inhumane
and by the look in his eyes
the drugs had made him insane
in my self created horizon
my dollar could make him well
in my self created horizon
i could help him live another day
in this life - the future can?t be told
in this life - you got to hope
in this life - if you gotta hand to hold
in this life - just trust and then you?ll know
so i was sittin in the subway
and this pregnant lady fell to the ground
she was freightened that her baby
would never make it to 7 pounds
she needed some assistance
i would try to help her, if i could
she needed more than my assistance
but what if her baby could make a difference
in this life - the future can?t be told
in this life - you got to hope
in this life - if you gotta hand to hold
in this life - just trust and then you?ll know
don't be afraid
so i was sittin in the subway
and this girl could not have been 6 years of age
and by the sound of her voice
i prayed her talent would not go to waste
but then she looked up so sincerely
while her momma played the tamborine
i felt pain or was it pity
then i wondered if the world would ever
know her name
1, 2, 3
in this life - you can't help everyone
see past yourself - and things could change
maybe they could change
i know i sound like a fool
but to me
the glass is half - full
in this life
