He was a kind hearted man in a hateful world and he caught everything that life ever hurled Like the oldest mountain he always stood so tall Forever showing what it means to be unbreakable Paycheck to paycheck, three jobs a day He's the ransom for his family's pain In the coldest world with the warmest heart, he puts to shame what you consider hard He's the man you don't see in the mirror While the world was screaming d**h he chose a different song to hear He's the band that's playing while the ship sinks The song of hope he forever sings He taught the sun to shine
Now please teach this son to shine How can this world never break your warm heart in this frigid f**ing place? You're like the river: always flowing and growing never changing, rearranging How can this world never take your solid stance in these turbulent times? You're like the tree in the burning forest that never was burned down And what he said to me was this: "Just love the world that won't love you back" Old man take a look at my life, I'm nothing like you are Take a look at my life, I'm so very f**ing far From the person I aspire to be Unbreakable
