You smiled, said hello, he wasn't used to being treated well
His life had been Hell, rejected and he retreated to a shell
Your kindness hurt him, he didn't know why, new sensation
He became too confused to tell you, about his life in Hell
But you felt his pain, knew he wanted more but couldn't ask
So looked at his despair with soft words, looked in his soul
Spent each day begging to die, was so hurt didn't know why
You gave him a hand, and lifted him up from a black hole
You were his anchor, and kept him alive, let him survive
