Put all my pennies on a railroad track
to prove that anything can change
whether you’re human or made out of stone with a hammer
a few minutes pass and I hear the train
I turn my back and walk away without my change
didn’t need it anyway
cause a few flattened pieces of copper and zinc
can’t represent the same pain that I feel each week
when I think about the blood i’ve lost and heartache I bare
I sure miss the invincibility of being unaware and I
(chorus)
I wouldn’t wish this on anyone
The price that we pay to be here each day and I
hope you stay warm.
I just got back from a long trip out west
found some peace of mind somewhere in the rockies
heard my grandfathers voice whispering to me
couldn’t tell what he was saying
but he seemed alright
the way his words fell off his lips I think he said
growing ups not about losing ones that you love
so think less about yourself and more of the ones that you trust
with your heart, if I could restart
Grandfather of mine whose name that I carry
do you have an ounce of strength that you think you could spare me
cause I have no faith at all
In anyone or anything and I’m scared, yeah I’m so scared
