There Was a Kid (Part 2)

There was a kid who was raised by television Had an alcoholic father who died from bad decisions He swore he'd never drink so he'd never end up like him He didn't know his father cause he couldn't break the cycle There was a kid who grew up in a trailer His mother worked so hard but still she felt like such a failure He swore he'd make it out & when he did he'd come & get her He'd pack up all her things so she could live a little better There was a kid who had goals & bigger dreams Headed in the wrong direction looking for a different scene Trying to find another kid who's clinging to a rope So he taught himself to sing but all he found was hope Sing a song of hope Sing a song of hope It's all I really know Sing a song of hope "hope means you really want someone to come back"
