This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
What you got, what you got in your hand
Father said to son
I got the whole world here, Daddy
Between my fingers and my thumb
Well, you take care of it, please
It's the only one
Well, it would take me a lifetime, old man
To undo what you've done
Oh, come on now, boy, think
What would Jesus do?
He'd shake his head like an angry mother spoke the boy
And say 'I did what I could do'
But you take care of it, please
It's the only one you got
And it'd take ten lifetimes, boy
To undo what I've done
Boy shrugged, walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
Boy just walked away
The man stood alone thinking
One hand is bleeding and the other hand holds a gun
While everything is open, everything is shut down, down, down
Begin to ending is really just a go round and round and round
As I stand here the ground beneath is nothing more than one point of view
What you got, what you got in your hand?
Your secret's safe with me
Well, I found the truth, friend
Let me whisper in your ear
Take good care of it, please
It's the only one there is
Can I twist it, please?
Can I give it just a little twist?
Boy shrugged, walked away
The man stood and watched that boy disappearing
Boy just walked away
The man stood there twisting
One hand is bleeding and the other hand holds a gun
Everything is open, now everything is shut down, down, down
No one is hoping, even if you, even if you're sure
Never know it all, the ground beneath is nothing more than my point of view
Boy shrugged, walked away
The man stood and watched that boy as he was leaving
Boy just walked away
The man stood there twisting
One hand is open and the other hand holds a gun
But everything is open, now is everything coming down, down, down
No one is hoping, even if you, even if you know
You never know it all nothing more, nothing more than my point of view
Boy shrugged, walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
The man stood there twisting
Father said to son
I got the whole world here, Daddy
Between my fingers and my thumb
Well, you take care of it, please
It's the only one
Well, it would take me a lifetime, old man
To undo what you've done
Oh, come on now, boy, think
What would Jesus do?
He'd shake his head like an angry mother spoke the boy
And say 'I did what I could do'
But you take care of it, please
It's the only one you got
And it'd take ten lifetimes, boy
To undo what I've done
Boy shrugged, walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
Boy just walked away
The man stood alone thinking
One hand is bleeding and the other hand holds a gun
While everything is open, everything is shut down, down, down
Begin to ending is really just a go round and round and round
As I stand here the ground beneath is nothing more than one point of view
What you got, what you got in your hand?
Your secret's safe with me
Well, I found the truth, friend
Let me whisper in your ear
Take good care of it, please
It's the only one there is
Can I twist it, please?
Can I give it just a little twist?

The man stood and watched that boy disappearing
Boy just walked away
The man stood there twisting
One hand is bleeding and the other hand holds a gun
Everything is open, now everything is shut down, down, down

Never know it all, the ground beneath is nothing more than my point of view
Boy shrugged, walked away
The man stood and watched that boy as he was leaving
Boy just walked away
The man stood there twisting
One hand is open and the other hand holds a gun
But everything is open, now is everything coming down, down, down
No one is hoping, even if you, even if you know
You never know it all nothing more, nothing more than my point of view
Boy shrugged, walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
The man stood there twisting

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Interesting points, and although i'm not going to pick a fight or anything, hey- whatever floats your boat, i generally get a vibe from DMB's music that is like, do your own thing, enjoy life because that's what it's here for. As in Trippin Billies, Best of Whats Around, etc. Musikrazy, it might be interesting for you to see the other folder for this song. In this version, i see the father/man figure as more of the bad guy because he is the one to twist the truth, and while he's trying to give guidence to the boy, he himself is guilty of crimes; "...holding the gun." Althought i didn't buy the "father = Father" thing at first, the more i think it over, the more i see it, unfortunatly. I doubt Dave set out to make a song about abusive priests, but non the less, the analagy does apply.
