Helping hand
Smiley Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We live our lives abused.
Beaten and thrown away.
Scared of the next day.
Waiting for more pain.
He lived His life that way,
He suffered and He died for us.
Now happy is the one who can
persevere and have
faith, love and hope.

Help someone out, do something for
someone else, And be happy you don't
have to live a life of hate. Love
someone, 'cause love is life and God
is love, ya. Live free from hate.

There are people out there who are
living unaware That they don't have
to fight and they don't have to cry
Just open up your heart and when
you see the truth,




When your heart has been set free
will you share your love with me?

+1thess523 Thanks for the heads up. A lot of reasons. Lack of science in the Bible for one. Boats with all the animals and young earth creationists for one. Discrimination against women and gays etc....
