Lyrics

[Verse 1]
"What you got, what you got on your hand?", a father said to son
I got the whole world here, Daddy, between my fingers and my thumb
Will you take care of it please? It's the only one
Well, it'd take me a lifetime, old man, to undo what you done
To undo what ya done
[Verse 2]
Oh, come on now, boy, think what would Jesus do?
He'd shake his head like a angry mother
Spoke the boy and say, "I did what I could do"
But you take care of it please, but it's the only one you got
And it'd take ten lifetimes, boy, to undo what I've done
[Verse 3]
Boy shrugged, walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
Boy just walked away
The man stood alone thinking
[Verse 4]
One hand is bleeding and the other hand holds a gun
While everything is open, oh, everything is shut down, down, down
Begin to ending is really just a go round and round and round
And as I stand here
The ground beneath is nothing more than one point of view
[Verse 5]
What you got, what you got in your head? You're secret's safe with me
Well, I found the truth, friend, let me whisper in your ear
Take good care of it, please, it's the only one there is
Can I twist it, please?
Can I give it just a little twist?
[Verse 6]
Boy shrugged, walked away
The man stood and watched that boy this giving
Boy just walked away
The man stood there twisting
[Verse 7]
One hand is bleeding, oh, as the other hand holds the gun
Everything is open now, everything is shut down, down, down
No one is holding, even if you, even if you're sure
You never know it all
The ground beneath is nothing more than my point of view (Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 8]
Boy shrugged, walked away
The man stood and watched the boy was leavin'
Boy just walked away
The man stood there twisting
[Verse 9]
One hand is open and the other hand holds the gun
Well, everything is open or, is everything coming down, down, down?
No one is holding, no, even if you, even if you know
You never know it all
But nothin' more than, nothin' more than my point of view
[Verse 10]
Boy shrugged, walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leavin'
The man just stood there twisting
