Balance Problems - The Neighbor Kid Has A Gun lyrics

You ran across the yard and turned your back Your brother he watched and in the gra** he sat The neighbor kid with a loaded gun and car He fired a shot and the bullet grazed your heart The doctors they watched you close and held their breath And some would believe in a miracle they witnessed The bullet stopped short and broke one of your ribs A hospital bed and a second chance to live You're closer to d**h The neighbors - they left, ashamed of what he did Their son, they hid And all of the rest - your days that are left - upon your chest: a scar A gift; your heart never stopped I was afraid of what a friend told me A burst of light and the harsh reality He could recall a voice so comforting But still it was hard to know what to believe I looked away as my head absorbed the facts And ran through the house until I reached the back I couldn't help but be taken with the fear It's unavoidable but he is always near I was closer to d**h And I would have guessed it was my turn to go He told me so And the all of the rest of my days that are left - upon my chest: a scar A gift; my heart never stopped
