and tears come to my eyes
as i watch this fight
he's trapped inside a hole
too deep to climb
the outcome is undetermined
i see him squirming for help
looking for a word to say
anything to hide the pain
asking for an answer
getting turned shoulders
watching lives change
anything to hide the pain
this ruler isn't long enough
to measure how much it hurts
there's future to explore
guess i can't hope for much more
