Dearest Boy

Standing there in the middle of the county road
You were taught to look both ways you rarely do as you're told
But do your best and be kind always speak the truth
Here's my hand hold on tight I am here for you

Cast out the stranger
From your heart
Make mention of His name be not estranged
For this is where He lives

Watching you run your race always from the lead
You were always quick to hang back for a friend in need
You will grow to be strong always look to help
There's a need in this world think of others before yourself

Cast out the stranger
From your heart
Make mention of His name be not estranged
For this is where He lives

Now that you are a man one more thing you must know
The secret to happiness is you reap what you sow
You will love and be loved but the search is long
Be yourself its enough you can't go wrong

Cast out that stranger
From your heart
Make mention of His name be not estranged
For this...
Cast out the stranger
Make room for a friend
Make mention of His name be not estranged
For this is where God lives
