when times are tough and things look bad
you've gotta look at all the good times you've had
erase the madness from your mind
and try to see the positive side

things can only be as bad as you make them
so think things through and overcome them
when things that would make a grown man cry
are happening right in front of your eyes

take the time to reason things out
don't go on an instinct or on a doubt
discuss your problems with a friend
'cause life is a valuable thing to end

your own life is something you shouldn't take
so value the decisions that you make
and before you decide to take those pills
or pull that trigger - just don't
