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'
