Lyrics

I saw this child who never smiled
I told him that's no way to live your life
I saw him kneel down on his knees
As he said "Please, please, please,"
It's as if I could see inside his mind
And it reminded me of mine
And it became clear that he belonged here
And he promised me he'd try
If only you could have been there
Me and my brother John
We tried so hard not to carry on
But it was so obvious to everyone who was around
Let me know if you see him around
Let me know if you see him downtown
I know there is something better than this
And I know that is, there's gotta be
I know there is something better than this
And I know that is, I know that
Here's a place where I can just hang out
With the friends who I brang out
We can have some laughs
And I'll look back and have a good time
With all the people we met
Who I could never forget
La la la la la la lots of things
That I would like to say to you
In your troubled state
But it's so hard when you're so good
At keeping it to yourself
And wait till the sun comes up in the morning
If you come back we'll find a place for you
I saw this child who never smiled
I told him that's no way to live your life
I saw him kneel down on his knees
As he said "Please, please, please,"
It's as if I could see inside his mind
And it reminded me of mine
And it became clear that he belonged here
And he promised me he'd try
If only you could have been there
Me and my brother John
We tried so hard not to carry on
But it was so obvious to everyone who was around
Let me know if you see him around
Let me know if you see him downtown
I know there is something better than this
And I know that is, there's gotta be
I know there is something better than this
And I know that is, I know that
Here's a place where I can just hang out
With the friends who I brang out
We can have some laughs
And I'll look back and have a good time
With all the people we met
Who I could never forget
La la la la la la lots of things
That I would like to say to you
In your troubled state
But it's so hard when you're so good
At keeping it to yourself
And wait till the sun comes up in the morning
If you come back we'll find a place for you
