Hey World

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

It could have gone either way when it came down to the choice

To keep the life within a life that had no voice

It must have surely seemed the harder road to choose

To be so young to have to say who had the most to lose

But she came through like a champ and she blessed the world that day

Then gave the hope of a better life when she gave him away

Now the innocence and joy is there each day he wakes

Expressions of his love of life in every breath he takes

He could have been thrown away before he had a chance to say

(Chorus)

Hey world, I am here and I have something to give

Hey world, I'm alive and I am wanting to live

He turned to lock the door as he wiped away a tear

The hopelessness of missing love, his adolescent fear

As he struggled for the strength to put the gun away

He found the courage and the hope to face another day

He could have been blown away before he had a chance to say

Down the corridor or life in between our death and birth

We may start to lose our way in the search to find our worth

Our value comes in the face we live

Life is a gift only God can give
