The Last One I Made

A smile has never been hard to give

But I have learnt that for some it is

I saw an ad on a bus last night

Two pounds a month could help save a life

But that's not for some

That's not for some it's only for some

If it's not for one special someone

Then it shall be for none

And I'm not sure just

How much more of this I can bear

I try to talk to God

But it seems even he doesn't care

I've seen the new one he's building

And my how he's made not one mistake

He told me 'son I promise you

This one will be so much better

Than the last one I made'

All my life I've tried to fit in

And it's been hard given the colour of my skin

But that's okay because I know

That in a thousand years or so

There will be love

There'll be enough love to cushion all the falls

And wistful thinking never stopped us

From wanting it all

But I'm not sure just

How much more of this I can bear

I try to talk to God

But it seems even he doesn't care

I've seen the new one he's building

And my how he's made not one mistake

He told me 'son I promise you

This one will be so much better

Than the last one I made'

As I walk through the valley of death

I am alone I am alone

And all those words that

You once said they no longer take me home

As I walk through the valley of death

I am alone I am alone

And all those words that

You once said they no longer take me home

I am alone I am alone I am alone

And I don't know how much longer I can wait

He told me 'son I promise you

This one will be so much better

Than the last one

It will be so much better

Than the last one I made'
