Watcha got, watcha gotIn your handFather said to SonI’ve got the whole world here, daddy‘tween my fingers and my thumb.You take care of it please,For it’s the only one.But it’ll take me a lifetime, old manTo undo what you’ve done.Undo what you’ve done.Oh come on now, boy thinkwhat would Jesus do.He'd shake his head like a angry mother spokeThe boy and say, I did what I could do.But you take care of it pleaseFor it’s the only one you got.And it’ll take ten lifetimes, boyTo undo what I’ve done.Boy shrugged, walked away,The man stood and watchedAs he was leaving.The boy just walked awayThe man stood alone thinking.One hand is bleeding,And The other hand holds the gun.While everything is open,Oh everything is shut down, down, downBegin to endingIs really just to go round, and 'round, and 'roundAnd when I stand hereThe ground beneath is nothing more thanOne point of view.Watcha got, watcha gotIn your head?Your secret’s safe with me.Well, I found the truthfriendLet me whisper in your ear.Take good care of it please,It’s the only one there isCan I twist it, please, ohCan I give it just a little twist?Boy shrugged, walked away,The man stood, and watchedThat boy disappearin'.The boy just walked away,The man stood there twisting.One hand is bleeding, oh,And the other holds the gun.Everything is open now.Everything is shut down, down, down,No one is holdingEven if you, even if you're sure,You never know at all,The ground beneath is nothing moreThan my point of view.Boy shrugged, walked away,The man stood and watchedThe boy as he was leaving.The boy just walked away,The man stood there twisting.One hand is open,And the other hand holds the gun.But everything is open,orIs Everything coming down, down, downNo one is holding,No, even if, even if you know, ohYou never know at all,And nothing more, no nothing moreThan my point of viewBoy shrugged walked away,The man stood and watchedAs he was leaving.The man just stood there twisting.
