At only 13 he figured it out
But no one would hear him talk
Home alone with that poisonous thought
No one would hear him talk
His father, he wept. His mother, she cried
The whole town put on a parade
No one had pictured things happening this way
Well "He was just depressed"
They would say
Now is the time to get it right
Now is the time to wake up
We'll never get no where if we stay in one place
Say "Hello" to the human race.
At only 18 she figured it out
It was easy and pleasurable too
But money and fame could never replace
The family who would abandon her soon
Her father, he wept. Her mother, she screamed
Her brother was heartbroken too
Curled in a ball, in her bed soaked with tears
She could never repay what she's due
Now is the time to get it right
Now is the time to wake up
We'll never get no where if we stay in one place
Say "Hello" to the human race.
Lean on me and I'll lean on you
Because I can't get by on my own
Open your arms and to them I'll run
My heart needs somewhere to call home
