[ Featuring Steel ]
I held on to that boy's program and saw how they loved him so
Their memories overflowed of times long ago
Giving a sliver of hope
I held onto that boy's program and saw how they felt alone
Letting go of tears, breaking hearts of stone
Piling up for home
Who said life's not fair? - must have been there
Who said life's a bust? - knows something of love
I held on to that boy's program and I read what it said inside
Twenty years old he's slain by a man with his name
Go collect your claim
I held on to that boy's program and I heard her let out a scream
I've lost my only boy to the devil's machine
It's all part of his scheme
Who said life's not fair? - must have been there
Who said life's a bust? - knows something of love
I went home to my family and told them of a life denied
I watched that day's news of murder and of crime
And I wrung my hands of the divide
Who said life's not fair? - must have been there
Who said life's a bust? - knows something of love
