[Intro] (Slow build, distant 808s) Yeah... Can you feel that? Listen... [Verse 1] Can I watch my brother fold? And not feel the weight take hold? Can I see my homie grieve? And not step up, give relief? Can I watch a sister cry? And not feel it deep inside? Can a pops see his own child break down And not lose his mind? [Pre-Chorus] Can a mom just sit and hear Her baby scream, her baby fear? [Chorus] Nah, nah! Never can it be! Never, never can it be! If you feel pain, that pain is mine That's just how it's meant to be Nah, nah! Never can it be! Never, never can it be! Real ones feel what others feel That's just how it's meant to be [Verse 2] And can He who holds it all Hear the small bird's anxious call? Hear the small thing's pain and care? Hear the weight the young'uns bear? And not post up by the nest? Pouring comfort in their chest? And not stay right by the bed? Wiping tears that they have shed? [Pre-Chorus] And not stay both night and day? Taking all our pain away? [Chorus] Oh nah! Never can it be! Never, never can it be! If you feel pain, that pain is mine That's just how it's meant to be Nah, nah! Never can it be! Never, never can it be! Real ones feel what others feel That's just how it's meant to be [Bridge] He gives joy to one and all He became a child so small He became a man who knows He can feel the sorrow too Don't you think you hurt alone The Maker's right beside the throne Don't you think you cry in vain The Maker feels your every pain [Verse 3] He gives us His peace and joy So our pain He can destroy Till our hurt is dead and gone He sits with us and carries on [Final Chorus - Build] Nah, nah! Never can it be! Never, never can it be! If you weep then I weep too That's just how it's meant to be Nah, nah! Never can it be! Never, never can it be! Real ones hold each other down That's just how it's meant to be [Outro] (Beat fades to just a heartbeat) Yeah... You're never alone Never alone The Maker's right there Right there... (Whisper) Never, never can it be... (Fade)
