Paul

Such a beautiful person
In such deep pain
His face disfigured 
In a violent game

He hides from the world
Doesn’t want to be seen
His story is a sad one
From places his been

Take courage my friend
Leave the pass right behind
Your futures in front
Just follow the signs

And play your piano
Your music’s so good
My soul it did lighten
Right here where I stood

Take back the life force
That is always yours
You are a good person
Of that I am sure

Don’t let the world ruin you
Or sadden you more
Hang on with both hands
It’s not right that you’re sore

Do what it takes
If need be, alone
Take back your power
Don’t turn to stone

Take my hand if you need to
I am your friend
Maybe together
We can help your world bend

You seem fragile and frightened
Don’t know what to do
Your life is your own
It’s all up to you

Leave your anger behind you
It’s done so much harm
You can’t walk on straight forward
With those chains right behind

I’ll help you my friend
I’ll do what I can
Its hurts me to see you
In all this, so much pain

So remember dear Paul
And remember it well
You have your own choices
Get out of your hell.
