It's the promise that you keep
to a child whose heart is broken
It's a hand upon a shoulder
when the world has been unkind
And as simple as it seems,
it's the greatest gift you're giving
Cause you know you're only living
When the best you have
is what you leave behind
If you're ever so far down
That your life has lost its meaning
In the moment you start feeling
that it's all been wasted time
Think of every smile you shared,
every touch of hope you've given
Cause you're only really living
when the best you have
is what you leave behind
there's someone waiting by the
bridge that you once burned,
can you take the time to tell them what you've learned?
