《There Was a Little Boy (Early Version)》歌词

[00:04:12] There Was A Little Boy [Early Version

[00:04:12] Mother's crazy, but she runs the family

[00:04:12] Two older sisters, and the boy who's nine years old

[00:04:12] He's old enough to see the way it's going

[00:04:12] Somewhere the birds are singing

[00:04:12] But Mother's all alone

[00:04:12] He needs a father, but she takes a lover

[00:04:12] This man is not a friend, shows no friendship

[00:04:12] This man just waits around to play with Sister

[00:04:12] But he plays too serious, he plays too rough

[00:04:12] How can you expect a child to understand the sickness of a world whose eyes are blind?

[00:04:12] The dying man inside this boy is questioning his once upon a time

[00:04:12] (There was a little boy)

[00:04:12] He leaves home early for a loveless world

[00:04:12] And he finds what he needs with an older boy

[00:04:12] He's got a couple things to hide from Mother

[00:04:12] He hopes she'll understand, she hopes he'll change

[00:04:12] How can you expect a child to understand the sickness of a world whose eyes are blind?

[00:04:12] A world he cannot hope to conquer, insecurities that fester in his mind

[00:04:12] No choice, no fault, and no way out, no blame, no guilt, no friends, no cure, no crime

[00:04:12] The dying man inside this boy is questioning his once upon a time

[00:04:12] (There was a little boy)

[00:04:12] This boy was once a strong man, but getting weaker

[00:04:12] He carries more than just the shame inside

[00:04:12] His mother stays away and faces nothing

[00:04:12] She blindly wishes for a happy ending

[00:04:12] How can you expect a child to understand the sickness of a world whose eyes are blind?

[00:04:12] A world he cannot hope to conquer, insecurities that fester in his mind

[00:04:12] No choice, no fault, and no way out, no blame, no guilt, no friends, no cure, no crime

[00:04:12] The dying man inside this boy is questioning his once upon a time

[00:04:12] (There was a little boy)
