I went to high school with that kid
He was even strange back then
The tapu's eyes don't leave the floor Blend in with the cement
I felt so bad for that kid
One day I saw his face turn green
And as he'd stumble to the floor The
thought of reaching out never occurred to me
Why
don't we
open up
Knowing that we all falter
And when will we learn
To reach out for each other
He lived out on the edge of town And I'm pretty sure he had a brother
It seemed that boy could walk for days I suspect to avoid his mother
And I always knew he had it bad Suffer than any of us others did
Still I never asked him how he was doing What could I do,
I was just a kid
Why don't we open up
Knowing that we
all falter
And when will we learn To
reach out for each other
So now he's the new town bum
He talks to himself and picks up cans all
day
And when my kids ask me about him
What'll I say,
what'll I say
Why don't we open up
Knowing that we all falter
When will we learn
to
open up
Knowing that we all falter
When will we learn, I said,
when will we learn
To
reach out for each other
