The Fuse

Be careful what you say
You never know who will hear you.
Some people can't make it through today,
They've got their own wars to slay.

Life is a gift you can't take for granted.
That's what they say,
But, when it comes down to it,
Everyone walks away.

Have you ever spent a day,
In someone else's shoes?
Then you might understand,
What lights the fuse.

This is not a joke.
They can't pick and choose.
They're just like us under the sky,
Live, we breathe, we die.

No matter the color,
The bruise stays the same.
Don't be a bully for hire,
Stop the pain, smother the fire.

Have you ever spent a day,
In someone else's shoes?
Then you might understand,
What lights the fuse.

You don't have to take this,
It's not your fault.
Don't take the name if it doesn't fit.
We can end it all.

Have you ever spent a day,
In someone else's shoes?
Then you might understand,
What lights the fuse.

Have you ever spent a day,
In someone else's shoes?
Then you might understand,
What lights the fuse.

Have you ever spent a day,
In someone else's shoes?
Then you might understand,
What lights the fuse.
