I've seen you crying and screaming, trying to get rid of the pain
And the anger in you grew
And sometimes I thought, you might just go insane.
I admire your courage
You're a strong person, allowing nothing to forever bring you down
I wonder how you manage
to go through the day when people actually treat you like a foolish clown.
If I had known what your future will hold, I would have looked into it
I would have warned you about all the bad people and things
And I would have driven those people in a deep pit
But sometimes we just have to accept whatever life brings
It bought you a boyfriend who made your life miserable
Stole your happiness and left you confused and heartbroken
He refused to be reasonable
He left you behind, but that doesn't make him an evil person
If I knew what your future will hold, I would have lead you in the right direction
In the right path where you wouldn't stumble and fall
In the path of perfection
In the path where you would walk tall
But I can't predict the future, and that's why things turned out the way they did
Like getting yourself into trouble, got hooked up on alcohol and drugs
You were once an innocent kid
Until you started hanging out with gangsters and thugs
You started behaving strangely, you started bunking school
trying to figure out on how to get the next hit
Roaming the streets of Soweto, thinking you were cool
I never thought that you'd be able to quit
To quit drugs, an addiction so strong
But you were brave enough, to start all anew again
No one knows, what went wrong
But hey, what's life when there's no pain
Sometimes in life, we meet bad people and do bad things for a reason
Just to learn a new lesson
But if I was able to look into the future, you would have learned that lesson a long time ago
I would have held your hand, and never let go.
