《There Was A Little Boy》歌词

[00:00:07] There Was A Little Boy - Toy Matinee

[00:00:34] Mother's crazy but she runs the family

[00:00:39] Two older sisters

[00:00:40] And the boy who's nine years old

[00:00:43] He's old enough to see the way it's going

[00:00:48] Somewhere the birds are singing

[00:00:51] But Mother's all alone

[00:01:01] He needs a father but she takes a lover

[00:01:06] This man is not a friend

[00:01:08] Shows no friendship

[00:01:10] This man just waits around to play with Sister

[00:01:15] But he plays too serious

[00:01:18] He plays too rough

[00:01:19] How can you expect a child to understand

[00:01:22] The sickness of a world whose eyes are blind

[00:01:26] The dying man inside this boy is questioning

[00:01:29] His once upon a time

[00:01:42] He leaves home early for a loveless world

[00:01:46] And he finds what he needs with an older boy

[00:01:51] He's got a couple things to hide from Mother

[00:01:56] He hopes she'll understand

[00:01:58] She hopes he'll change

[00:02:00] How can you expect a child to understand

[00:02:02] The sickness of a world whose eyes are blind

[00:02:07] A world he cannot hope to conquer

[00:02:08] Insecurities that fester in his mind

[00:02:13] No choice no fault and no way out

[00:02:15] No blame no guilt no friends

[00:02:17] No cure no crime

[00:02:20] The dying man inside this boy is questioning

[00:02:23] His once upon a time

[00:02:25] (There was a little boy)

[00:02:57] This boy was once a strong man

[00:03:00] But getting weaker

[00:03:01] He carries more than just the shame inside

[00:03:06] His mother stays away and faces nothing

[00:03:10] She blindly wishes for a happy ending

[00:03:14] How can you expect a child to understand

[00:03:17] The sickness of a world whose eyes are blind

[00:03:21] A world he cannot hope to conquer

[00:03:23] Insecurities that fester in his mind

[00:03:28] No choice no fault and no way out

[00:03:30] No blame no guilt no friends

[00:03:32] No cure no crime

[00:03:35] The dying man inside this boy is questioning

[00:03:38] His once upon a time

[00:03:40] (There was a little boy)
