What its Like
[Verse 1] On the corner he’s waiting, no shelter, no guide, Cup in his hand as the world walks by. Clothes worn thin, but he’s holding on tight, Fighting through shadows, losing the light. Someone shouts, “Go work,” with a cold, sharp tone, Not seeing the battles he fights on his own. [Chorus] Oh, you really might know what it’s like (what it’s like), To breathe through the storm and climb through the night. Yeah, you really might know what it’s like (what it’s like), To carry all that weight just to stay upright. [Verse 2] Young Sarah was dreaming, but life took a turn, Fell hard for Jake, with hearts set to burn. But his promise fell silent, left her lost in the dark, Crying at midnight, tracing the mark. They whisper her story, paint her with blame, But they don’t feel the hurt wrapped around her name. [Chorus] Yeah, you really might know what it’s like (what it’s like), To walk under flickers of broken streetlight. Yeah, you really might know what it’s like (what it’s like), To hold onto hope when nothing feels right. [Bridge] Seen the wealthy stumble, seen the mighty fall, Watched pride crack open, heard wisdom call. Walked with my failures, danced with despair, Felt the cold silence when no one is there. Angels once shining now drift through the fade, Searching for pieces of the lives they made. [Verse 3] In the alley, young Max counted dreams made of gold, Thought he owned the night, but the truth felt cold. One wrong step turned him into a shade, Leaving love behind with the mess he made. His kids still call out, but he can’t return, Life flips in a heartbeat—watch the fire burn. [Chorus] Oh, you really might know what it’s like (what it’s like), To lose all you had in the blink of an eye. Yeah, you really might know what it’s like (what it’s like), To lift yourself up and still try to fly. [Outro] Before you throw stones, take a look inside, We’re all carrying stories we’re trying to hide. Yeah, you really might know what it’s like to lose, But I hope you find strength in the truth you choose.
