There`s a cold rain pouring off the Williamsburg Bridge
The world`s giving way beneath my feet
Someone once said that you`re lucky when you`re dead
You know sometimes I agree
They`re sweeping hot bottle caps onto the street
There`s a boy about 16 staring down
With a sick little smile just to prove he`s alive
As he looks around for nothing on the ground
Once his life was a prison but it burst at the seams
When he found a way to leave his dreams behind
Now he lives in a mist he hopes will leave him so numb
That he`ll die without a worry on his mind
CHORUS
I was walking through Williamsburg, taking it in
Trying to keep the courage not to run
When a boy left a bodega and he stepped in my path
In his right hand was a gun
He said, "Give me your money and I`ll leave you alive"
And he shook and looked discouraged while he talked
And I tried not to watch him as he walked away
But I noticed a spring in his walk
CHORUS
You only get one chance at everything on this Earth
And everything you do you must redeem
It`s a hard sad life most people`d rather throw away
On drinks and drugs and idle dreams
I was sitting in my bedroom staring at an empty fifth
The night was disappearing from my head
When I had a funny thought and I started to laugh
`Cause I remembered what somebody said
CHORUS
