Thrice

You look once, see a teen girl distracted, walking down the corridor You may look twice, see the boy cowering deep inside You never look thrice, to see a tear trace his face, wiped away before anyone can notice

Look thrice Look thrice Look thrice And you may just save a life

You listen once, hear a boy messing around with friends You might listen twice, hear the names they yell You never listen thrice, hear the sobs catch words in his throat he's trying so hard not to show.

Listen thrice Listen thrice Listen thrice And you may just save a life

You ask once, they say "I'm fine" smiling wide You might ask twice, they insist "Just tired" You never ask thrice, they fall down admitting "I'm broken"

Ask thrice Ask thrice Ask thrice And you might just save a life

I reached once, you told me I was a burden and laughed I reached twice, you said you understand but your eyes said you didn't I reached thrice, you caught me as I fell

Reach thrice Reach thrice Reach thrice And I saved my life.
