I'll tell you a story about a man I knew 

No Direction to the things he'd do 

He never lied Never Compromised 

Never Judge you with judging eyes



He didn't mind if you told your story 

About love death faith and glory girl



Why Love? Why Hope? 

The Hangman is going to tighten the rope 

Why must I try neither or us could sympathize 



Young mother with a tear in her eye 

She never bothered to sympathize 

As her son lets out his last breath 

One moment closer to death she says



Why Love? Why Hope? 

Hangman just tighten the rope 

Why must I try? Neither of us could sympathize
