lost souls
wand'ring by
that is what we call
our life

no one gets it
no one knows
how do we live
in a world of hell

people wonder
people die
we don't understand
but we can still try

it doesn't have to end
with the slice of a blade
a shooting of a gun
a feeling of hate

no one gets it
no one knows
how do we live
with no place called home

with love and kindness
we can show them the way
we can give them new hope
perhaps a reason to stay

there's more than this moment
the here and now
there's so much to live for
we just need this vow

that even though
we don't get it
we still don't know
there's a reason for living
a reason for hope
