Written by Dan Peek and Gerry Beckley, ©1975

Found on Hearts.

Boy, please don't throw away your life

All the joy, please don't end it with a knife

'Cause you know there's hope for you

I was alone like the silence in the night

I had no home no one close to hold me tight

But you know there's hope for you, for you

Everywhere I look I see your face

Every step I take seems out of place

You got to be a man to run the race

I'm not a hopeless man

How can you say I am?

I was alone like the silence in the night

I had no home no one close to hold me tight

But you know there's hope for you, for you

Everywhere I look I see your face

Every step I take seems out of place

You got to be a man to run the race

I'm not a hopeless man

How can you say I am
