[Verse: 1]
I knew a girl who was fourteen
Smart as hell, went to school and on the sport teams
And all the teachers loved her
She was intelligent
She showed respect to whenever what she negligent
They even said one day that maybe she'll be president
Maybe she will finally be somebody worth rememberin'
'Cause back where she came from nobody makes it out
That's why they spoke highly of her 'cause she made them proud

[Hook x2]
In a world that's so cold
No one never really knows
What we feel deep inside
Are we hurt? Are we fine?
Are we living or dying?
Wooahhh
So much pain in our souls
When we got nowhere to go
Through our highs and our lows
Are we searching for hope?
Do we quit 'cause we can't cope?

[Verse: 2]
Back at home things were fucked up
Her dad was always drunk
And mom was always drugged up
She never felt affection from her parents either
All she ever felt was pain from the times they beat her
Pop's would always put his hands where he shouldn't have
Always kicking down the door while she's taking baths
He would drag her to the floor and then a couple jabs
Knock the wind out her stomach
Slowly she collapsed
She was taken to the hospital
Barely breathing as her heartbeat would stop and go
Doctors constantly were trying to check a pulse
While she was in a coma skin was paler than a ghost
Eye's closed and for once she was at peace
The agony deep inside have finally been released
And finally she could see
Finally she could see the light
And all the darkness in the life was finally out of sight
[Hook x2]
In a world that's so cold
No one never really knows
What we feel deep inside
Are we hurt? Are we fine?
Are we living or dying?
Wooahhh
So much pain in our souls
When we got nowhere to go
Through our highs and our lows
Are we searching for hope?
Do we quit 'cause we can't cope?

[Verse: 3]
You never know what someone's going through
Problems back at home can leave you torn apart and broke in two
Pay close attention to the people you have spoken to
They will only let you see the side which they have chosen to
So keep in mind
You never know when someone's truly fine
'Cause deep inside they could be dying while they show no signs
'Cause way behind the smile is sadness that you could never fathom
So it's important when you meet someone to show compassion
Try not to judge from the outside
And pick them up through their downsides
Let that judging shit downsize
And let the love and gift outshine the dark times
You just gotta put your faith in god and you'll be safe
Have some faith and you'll be safe
Have some faith and you will be safe
The power love contains out ways the cruelest ways
