I was a boy who had to cry, now I'm a man who needs to hide.
You don't know what lies behind, what lies behind my broke red eyes.
Cause I'm a man with a boy inside, a boy who will not yet die.
He has so much left to say, so much to do he has to stay.
And I will not let him die, if he's to die than so shall I.
This child living within me, he'll help me grow, he'll help me see.
all this man is meant to be.
all this man is meant to see.
And through our eyes we just might view, all this man is meant to do.
Be is small or be it great, fueled by love or forced by hate.
But something just has to give, for our shared our shared mind to live.
They cannot be just boy and man, they have to walk hand in hand.
And if we don't they'll surely die, and like the boy the man will cry.
So push the man from shadows, what's the key? the man-boy knows.
all this man is meant to be
all this man is meant to see
you know that this man is me
But I cannot help the boy inside, I cannot make the man not hide.
Here I'm stuck in limbo, what's right or wrong I'll never know.
So I just go on this way, living life day by day.
No longer boy, not yet a man.
I'm fate's toy, I've got no plan.
And meager things they help me grow, grow good or bad I do not know.
Things in life neccesitate, that I grow up and make no haste.
don't let the man go to waste.
don't let the boy go to hate.
don't let the man die that way.
Listen to the boy and what he has to say...
