Boy, please don't throw away your life
All the joy, please don't end it with a knife
'Cause you know there's hope for you
(You)
I was alone like the silence in the night
I had no home, no one close to hold me tight
But you know there's hope for you (you), for you
Everywhere I look, I see your face
Every step I take seems out of place
You got to be a man to run the race
I'm not a hopeless man
How can you say I am?
I was alone like the silence in the night
I had no home, no one close to hold me tight
But you know there's hope for you, for you
(You) whoo-ooh, whoo-ooh
(You) for you
Everywhere I look, I see your face
Every step I take seems out of place
You got to be a man to run the race
I'm not a hopeless man
How can you say I am?
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, eh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
My hopeless mates
My hopeless mates
My hopeless mates
My hopeless mates
Mm-oh-oh, ooh
