Don’t Take Anyone

Lyrics

I'm sorry that the world has disappointed you And all your grand plans have gone astray And right now there is no one in your corner To take the pain and agony away Dark thoughts are turning inward and they're leading you To contemplate the lure of the abyss Before you try anything irreversible Please consider this We all go through life's ups and downs There are times when all our hearts ache But lashing out in anger won't fix anything It's just another horrible mistake If you are detеrmined to leave this world If you can no longеr take the status quo I'm sorry that your life has come down to this But don't take anyone with you when you go Don't take anyone Don't take anyone This is your fight And yours alone Don't take your mother That stranger over there or your brother Don't take anyone with you Into the Great Unknown 'Cause you don't know what there is in the Hereafter Buddha? Jesus? Allah? It's all a guess They are guideposts to help us on our journey Do I want this journey to continue? Yes And so do your friends and neighbors If we don't understand the struggle you endure If we somehow were insensitive we're sorry But don't pull us into your private war And know that there are those who will help you Don't be afraid to ask they'll take your hand We don't want to see you throw your life away If you think we do, you misunderstand But if you are determined to leave this world If you cannot live with the status quo Self destruction is nothing but a dead end Not the way any of us want to go Don't take anyone Please put down the gun Oh my wayward son Take a deep breath Think of your mother Your father, your sister and your brother This is not a scene That wants to end in death Don't take anyone Though your world has come undone Ending it now with a gun Breaks the hearts of those left in your wake Oh my wayward son Put down the gun Please please please Don't make this mistake
