I once talked to an old man about life,about love,about punishment
he told me that I was too young to think of those things
I said old man now a days there are twelve year olds think the same thing
can you believe that

He said that's too bad
that he had no idea that his world was so dark
he told me not be apart of the world if I wanted to be a good person
'cause the world is cold....

I asked if he meant suicide
he said no,no,no don't that
you've got so much to live for
so I asked him what did he mean and he said,and he said
girl you'll find out
live your life and you'll find out

He said that's too bad
that he had no idea that his world was so dark
he told me not be apart of the world if I wanted to be a good person
'cause the world is cold....

Suddenly I realised what he meant
I can't live for the world
I can't,I shouldn't live for the world
he said very good child
he said that I'm a quick learner then he said
now go now girl spread the word

He said that's too bad
that he had no idea that his world was so dark
he told me not be apart of the world if I wanted to be a good person
'cause the world is cold....

Now please listen to these words
listen to the wise mans meaning
listen to my words
do you understand me now...
