About a Boy
Toward another he has gone
To breathe an air beyond his own
Toward wisdom beyond the shelf
Toward a dream that dreams itself
About a boy beyond it all
About a boy beyond it all
From the forest, from the foam
From the field that he had known
Toward a river twice as blessed
Toward the inn of happiness
About a boy beyond it all
About a boy beyond it all
From a chaos, raging sweet
From the deep and dismal street
Toward another kind of peace
Toward the great emptiness
About a boy beyond it all
About a boy beyond it all
I stood among them
I listened
I stood among them and listened not
I stood among them and I heard myself
Who I've loved better than you (boy)
So much, so (what a beautiful boy)
That I walked on into the (you were a giant)
Into the face of God
Into the face of God, who said
Oh boy, I knew thee not, but boy
Now that I have you in my face
I embrace you, I
I welcome you, I welcome you
I (boy)
I stood among them
I stood alone
Yeah, boy (boy)
He was just a boy, just a little boy
Whirling in the snow
Just a little boy
Who would never grow
To breathe an air beyond his own
Toward wisdom beyond the shelf
Toward a dream that dreams itself
About a boy beyond it all
About a boy beyond it all
From the forest, from the foam
From the field that he had known
Toward a river twice as blessed
Toward the inn of happiness
About a boy beyond it all
About a boy beyond it all
From a chaos, raging sweet
From the deep and dismal street
Toward another kind of peace
Toward the great emptiness
About a boy beyond it all
About a boy beyond it all
I stood among them
I listened
I stood among them and listened not
I stood among them and I heard myself
Who I've loved better than you (boy)
So much, so (what a beautiful boy)
That I walked on into the (you were a giant)
Into the face of God
Into the face of God, who said
Oh boy, I knew thee not, but boy
Now that I have you in my face
I embrace you, I
I welcome you, I welcome you
I (boy)
I stood among them
I stood alone
Yeah, boy (boy)
He was just a boy, just a little boy
Whirling in the snow
Just a little boy
Who would never grow
