Think About It

It’s not something to laugh at.
Why do you joke about it?

People out there sit and cry.
You just sit and stare.
You make them want to die.
Do you know this isn’t rare?

You push them towards the ledge,
Do you want to see them jump?

Think twice before you talk.
Listen to them when they cry.
Watch them when they walk.
And try not to let them die.

They’re always in a constant fight,
And it may never end.

Maybe you can save their life.
They need somebody to be there.
Take away their knife.
Show them you care.
