K.H.A. - LYRICS

VERSE 1

EVERYBODY KNOWS TOMORROWS
PROMISED TO KNOW ONE
IT’S THE SAME OLD SONG
WHETHER WEAK OR STRONG
WE JUST NEED TO BELONG
AND IF IT ALL GOES WRONG
WE LIKE TO THINK THERES SOMEONE
WE CAN RELY ON
MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY
NO MATTER HOW SMALL
LEAVE YOUR MARK, MAKE A CHANGE
YOU’LL BE WALKING TALL
COMMIT A RANDOM ACT
BUT NOT OF VIOLENCE
A SELFLESS TASK
OF PURE KINDNESS
DON’T NEED TO GO MAD
YOU CAN’T COMPETE WITH JESUS
JUST KEEP IT SIMPLE
HE’S THE ONE WHO SEES IT
COMPLIMENT SOMEONE
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING
A LITTLE BOOST LIKE THAT
MIGHT EVEN STOP THEM YAWNING
SEE A HOMELESS MAN ON THE STREET
AND BUY HIM A COFFEE
OR PUSH THE BOAT OUT
AND ADD A SLICE OF BANOFFI
GREET A ‘BIG ISSUE’ SELLER
WHEN THE WEATHER IS CHOPPY
GIVE HIM THE SHOCK OF HIS LIFE
AND BUY EVERY DAMN COPY

VERSE 2

SEAN’S LOST HIS CAREER
THE FOCUS OF HIS LIFE
HE CAN’T BEAR TO LOOK
INTO THE EYES OF HIS WIFE
THE PROVIDER
DECISION DECIDER
NOW IT’S ALL CHANGED
HE’S TWO STEPS BEHING HER
SO HE HITS THE SNOW
HE SWORE HE’D NEVER USE
A RUSH OF HOPE
TURNS TO DRUG ABUSE
AN THIS GOES ON AN ON
FOR FAR TOO LONG
AND HIS TWO KIDS
THEY JUST DON’T BELONG
THEN THE DAY CAME
HE HEARD THE WORD DIVORCE
IT WAS ON THE CARDS
PAR FOR THE COURSE
HE’D DEVELOPED A HABIT
THOUGHT HE COULD MANAGE
‘TIL THE DESPERATE ADDICT
BEGAN TO GET SAVAGE
BEGGED, BORROWED AND STOLE
AND EVERY LIE WAS TOLD
ANY MONEY THEY HAD
WENT STRAIGHT UP HIS NOSE
HE EMPTIED HIS ACCOUNTS
PLUS HIS CHILDREN’S SAVINGS
TO SATISFY HIS HUNGER
FOR CHEMICAL CRAVINGS

VERSE 3

THOUGHT HE’D HIT ROCK BOTTOM
BUT KEPT ON FALLING
THEN SOMETHING CLICKED
AND HE STARTED CRAWLING
SLOWLY OUT OF THE PIT
WEEPING AND BAWLING
AT LAST HE SAW THE LIGHT
AND RE-HAB WAS CALLING
COULD HIS WIFE LOVE HIM AGAIN
MAYBE SHE’LL LEARN
BUT THAT KIND OF LOVE
HAS TO BE EARNED
SO WHERE COULD HE TURN
ALL HIS BRIDGES WERE BURNT
THERE WAS ONLY ONE PLACE
WHERE THEY POSSIBLY WEREN’T
HE STUMBLED TO THE WOMAN
IN HIS DEEP DESPAIR
WHO WOULD ALWAYS CARE
THANK GOD, WAS ALWAYS THERE
BORE HIS SOUL TO HIS MOTHER
MANY TEARS WERE SHED
HOME TRUTHS WERE SPOKEN
THANKFUL PRAYERS WERE SAID
THEN HE ENTERED A PROGRAMME
WITH FEAR AND LOATHING
BUT WHEN A DOOR CLOSES
A WINDOW USUALLY OPENS
SIX MONTHS CLEAN
HE GOT A CALL ON HIS PHONE
WOULD HE LIKE A VISIT
FROM HIS KIDS AT HIS HOME


CHORUS

WHERE WERE YOU
WHEN THEY NEEDED YOU
WERE YOU BY THERE SIDE
TO WIPE THERE EYES
WE NEED TO LEARN
LIFE HAS NO PRICE
KEEP HOPE ALIVE
WHERE WERE YOU
WHEN THEY NEEDED YOU
CAN YOU BE THERE GUIDE
HEAR THERE SIGHS
WHILE THE FIRE STILL BURNS THEIRS LIGHT
KEEP HOPE ALIVE
