This Boy
Last night I dreamt I built a robot
In the image of me
Minus all the imperfections
And the insecurities
And I came to the conclusion
That I longed to set it free
In a world that would not miss me
That judges easily
That judges easily
When I was young I used to hide from
The other kids on the street
And I was no carefree teenager
When they were laying into me
Wish that I could say I've blossomed
Wish that I could laugh away
All the taunts and criticisms
That were part of everyday
I've no need for a saviour
Because I feel I've done my time
In a world that says 'Hey mister
What is yours will soon be mine, mine, mine'
Gonna follow my instincts
And finally take the lead
No more apologising
'cause this boy is free
This boy is free
(This boy is free)
This life is wonderful
And this hell ain't worth it
This pain is beautiful
Nobody's perfect
Sometimes you've gotta fall
Thats how you learn it
That this life is wonderful
But you've gotta earn it
Earn it
Need it
Feed it
Want it
Dream it
Work it
Feel it
Believe me
I've no need for a saviour
'Cause I feel I've done my time
In a world that says 'Hey mister
What is yours will soon be mine'
Gonna follow my instincts
And finally take a lead
No more apologising
'cause this boy is free
I've no need for a saviour
'cause I've finally drawn the line
In a world that kills the mystery
You've gotta find a way to shine
I've got all that I asked for
And now I do believe
That there's love on the horizon
'cause this boy is, this boy is free
I said, free, free, free, free
This boy is free
I said, free, free, free, free
This boy is free
I said, free, free, free, free
This boy is free
I said, free, free, free
This boy is free
This boy is free
I said, free, free, free
In the image of me
Minus all the imperfections
And the insecurities
And I came to the conclusion
That I longed to set it free
In a world that would not miss me
That judges easily
That judges easily
When I was young I used to hide from
The other kids on the street
And I was no carefree teenager
When they were laying into me
Wish that I could say I've blossomed
Wish that I could laugh away
All the taunts and criticisms
That were part of everyday
I've no need for a saviour
Because I feel I've done my time
In a world that says 'Hey mister
What is yours will soon be mine, mine, mine'
Gonna follow my instincts
And finally take the lead
No more apologising
'cause this boy is free
This boy is free
(This boy is free)
This life is wonderful
And this hell ain't worth it
This pain is beautiful

'cause this boy is, this boy is free

This boy is free
I said, free, free, free, free
This boy is free
I said, free, free, free, free
This boy is free
I said, free, free, free
This boy is free
This boy is free
I said, free, free, free
