WHEN I WAS A BOY
when I was a boy
I would play
night and day
and I could see
a world of make believe
the heroes I wanted to be
when I was a boy
I spoke like a boy
but now those ways
have come to an end
and I couldn’t wait
just to understand
what it means to be a man
when I was a boy
when I was a boy
ghost riding my bike
afraid of girls I liked
and I would stare
at the way she wore her hair
at the way she smiled so sweet
when I was a boy
I would stare at the wall
I would wait for her to call
of course she wouldn’t
but maybe she
was waiting on me
waiting on a man
when I was a boy
when I was a boy
I would hide
I knew how to escape from danger
and I was aware
even then that the world’s not fair
I wondered why I should care at all
when I was a boy
I merely survived
and surviving turned me
into a man
and now I find
hope, faith, and love abide
but still I long for the time
when I was a boy
