Another story left untold
About a guy who's all alone,
Trying to make it through
Some very tough times

Because his mother works two jobs,
And his father just ran off
But, you don't know cause'
He's not one to complain

Why don't we understand?
And, why don't we lend a hand
Instead of letting a good kid fade away?

At school he tries to hide
All the pain locked up inside
He needs a friend,
but all he gets is stares
And no one cares

Why don't we understand?
And, why don't we lend a hand
Instead of letting a good kid fade away?

The same thing happens every day
But, we just look the other way
There's no excuse for letting someone go
It's up to you to lend a hand
