With each mean word, pieces of heart get ripped
Beware of cold, no use to deny guilt
So much on my mind
Why can`t you be kind
It`s not so hard to try
Great at breaking ties
Deaf to all the cries
Live, let young hearts fly
How can one feed on hate
Loneliest role to play
Crushing dreams, such fearful fate
My fuel is the light
I can bring to deep night
As long as I live, have the need for smiles
So much on my mind
Why can`t you be kind
Success is not to harm
Be tender with frail hearts
Most often silence is poor guard
I`m quiet, but not dull
You still hurt with your dark
There`s no way to rebuild lost trust
Hope for better world is fading fast
I heartily refuse to give it up
