When will it end
I sit in a cafe on a busy street corner
I watch the people as they pass one another
A man and a woman holding hands
You can see love in her eyes and lust on his mind
What is wrong with all this
4 little children and no one gets rest
An old man and old woman pass this young couple
Smiles as they see the children
They know the pain of years to come
A runaway teenager walking by today might be his drive by
A young mom suffering day by day
You know her pride lies in the child gave away
A single man walks by full of himself
With all sorts of pride
He snubs his nose as he passes me
I wonder if he will get mugged so he will see
It is like a nasty circle that never ends
When god will this end
A lady walks by with one big black eye
I wonder if her hubby knows her pain
She looks at me and I see a smile
The black eye disappears off her beautiful face
I look deeper in her soul
She just wants love like the rest of us do
She sits down away from me
I tell the waitress her coffee is on me
I see a tear as the waitress tells her
I walk over and lend a hand
She asks me to sit down
As I do she tells me the story
Of here last days of her life
Cancer is tearing away at this poor wife
I ask her about her husband and eye
She said when he found out he drank all night
She tells me it will soon all end
I wonder what she meant
She wanted longer to love her life
But tragedy has struck like a big mack truck
The rest of the world passes her by
She is stuck in the middle of the end of her life
I get up to walk away
She says please stop drinking and take care of our children
I fell to my knees and asked forgiveness
She died that next day
I knew it would end to soon for me
God grant me the strength to move on
You took my life with that pretty woman
