hush"
here's a story many times been told
the melody's stale, the chords are old
but listen well as the plot unfolds
please hush
it's a classic tale of a boy meets girl
they set off together to conquer the world
side by side they blaze a trail
of love
but as years go by people change
so does love ain't it strange
what made you happy brings you pain
it sucks
and every body's saying don't give up (4times)
every body's saying please don't give up
don't
The second story is of a lost soul
thinks religion will make him whole
to pay his dues on heavens toll
he searched
the roman catholics and southern baptist
budas kids, jah's witness
after several years he's conivinced that
none work
he learned that some find god in the weirdest places
most find his son while incarcerated
the rest of us continue chasing
love
But EVERY BODY's preaching don't give up( 4 times)
every body's preaching please don't give up
don't
The last story is a tragic tale
of an entire city overwhelmed
forced to leave the life they held
so dear
Now the pain they say will come and go
Cause material things can't make you whole
but it's hard to see it when you've lost your home
and your scared
So until you see the things they see
until your shoes fit their feet
Until you get down there and breathe the air they breathe
please hush
