Lyrics - The Story of a Teenager by America

Written by dan peek and gerry beckley, ©1975
Found on hearts.
Boy, please don’t throw away your life
All the joy, please don’t end it with a knife’cause you know there’s hope for you
I was alone like the silence in the night
I had no home no one close to hold me tight
But you know there’s hope for you, for you
Everywhere
I look
I see your face
Every step
I take seems out of place
You got to be a man to run the race
I’m not a hopeless man
How can you say
I am?
I was alone like the silence in the night
I had no home no one close to hold me tight
But you know there’s hope for you, for you
Everywhere
I look
I see your face
Every step
I take seems out of place
You got to be a man to run the race
I’m not a hopeless man
How can you say
I am
