Assuming you know someone, someone that you'll never know 

You're quick to pass judgment to make yourself feel less alone 

It's hard to hate someone that really you feel sorry for 

Your actions like gravity, will soon come knocking on your door 



And when you look at him read between the lines 

I know that what you see, isn't what you¹ll find 

And in your presence his restraint has got you blind, he seems unaware 

A quiet, harmless, thoughtless, dork-like kind of guy 

I know that¹s all the man that you'd expect to find 

Will shed his cover and reveal himself to you 



He's in control and he'll find the time to care 

He'll find the time to give a damn 

At your expense you will pay the man 

It¹s on again but with a different trend 

Cause this time he¹s gained control 



Another story is changing, another lie rearranging 

Every time he sees your face there is aching 

Just another feeling he's got to control 



But his faith will keep him all right 

Belief in common sense, to know what's wrong from right 

I know he¹s seen and felt the repercussions of 

A thoughtless, heartless verbal bout. 



But his faith will keep him all right 

Belief in common sense and he won¹t have to pray 

He¹ll have his day. And in the end he'll walk away 



Now everyone around you is grown but you've remained 

It seems your satisfied to live a life of shame 

And now you've got yourself convinced everyone else is wrong, you stand alone 

He's up against a mind that thinks just of himself 

A mind in disarray, a mind in need of help 

As frustration grows and almost gets the best of him 

He stops and thinks, he sits back and gains control 



But his faith will keep him all right, belief in common sense 

It will keep him on his way, will keep him safe 

Will keep him proud, will keep him in control
