8/20/1995 alternate lyrics
Try as hard as they can to live
distractions fall, the rocks from a cliff
the sound of the river rages through my veins
and the sound of the church bells ringing is tickling my brain
yeah, tickling my brain
Talk then tossed away
oh, life seems like a game some can play
not all have their way
but some better roll away
Time will leave me
lay this bugger down
then the world we carry back
the best of all intentions that we have in the sea

main lyrics
"What you got? what you got in your hand?" father said to son
"I got the whole world here, Daddy, 'tween my fingers and my thumb
"will you take care of it, please? it's the only one"
"well, it'd take me a lifetime, old man, to undo what you done"
undo what you done
"Oh, come on, now, boy, think, what would Jesus do?"
"he'd shake his head like a angry mother," spoke the boy
"and say I did what I could do"
"but you take care of it, please, like it's the only one you got
and it'd take ten lifetimes, boy, to undo what I've done"
Boy shrugged, walked away
the man stood and watched as he was leaving
boy just walked away
the man stood alone thinking
One hand is bleeding and the other hand holds the gun
while everything is open, oh, everything is shut down, down, down
begin to ending is really just a go round and round and round
and as I stand here, the ground beneath is nothing more than one point of view
What you got? what you got in your head? your secret's safe with me
well, I found the truth, friend, let me whisper in your ear
take good care of it, please, it's the only one there is
can I twist it, please? can I give it just a little twist?
Boy shrugged, walked away
the man stood and watched that boy misgiving
boy just walked away
the man stood there twisting
One hand is bleeding, oh, as the other hand holds the gun
everything is open, now, everything is shut down, down, down
no one is holding even if you, even if you're sure
you never know it all, the ground beneath is nothing more than my point of view
Boy shrugged, walked away
the man stood and watched the boy as leaving
boy just walked away
man stood there twisting
One hand is open and the other hand holds the gun
well, everything is open, oh, is everything coming down, down, down?
no one is holding, oh, even if you're, even if you know
you never know it all, but nothing more than, nothing more than my point of view
Boy shrugged, walked away
the man stood and watched as he was leaving
the man just stood there twisting
