Baby Boy
He threw it all away
But that's not the way he's seeing it
He picked a hell of a road to go his own way
He took a shortcut through a dead end to find a better place
He turned a hard life's last chance into amazing grace
It was a cold day
He had a hot night
With a head full of this
And a soul needing that
And now you can't go back
From your cocoon you can turn into a butterfly
Oh, but only once
Watch it fly on by, bound for the brightest day
Is there glory in his story or will he just fade away?
Bold be the move he made but taken was the price he paid
It was a cold day
He had a hot night
With a head full of this
And a soul needing that
And now you can't go back
Desperate for a lullaby
Baby boy, you made your mama cry
She said, "You lie"
She said, "You lie"
God save my baby boy
My baby boy
My baby boy
My baby boy
It was a cold day
He had a hot night
With a head full of this
And a soul needing that
And now you can't go back
It was a cold day
He had a hot night
With a head full of this
And a soul needing that
And now you can't go back
You can't go back, you can't go back
But that's not the way he's seeing it
He picked a hell of a road to go his own way
He took a shortcut through a dead end to find a better place
He turned a hard life's last chance into amazing grace
It was a cold day
He had a hot night
With a head full of this
And a soul needing that
And now you can't go back
From your cocoon you can turn into a butterfly
Oh, but only once
Watch it fly on by, bound for the brightest day
Is there glory in his story or will he just fade away?
Bold be the move he made but taken was the price he paid
It was a cold day
He had a hot night
With a head full of this
And a soul needing that
And now you can't go back
Desperate for a lullaby
Baby boy, you made your mama cry
She said, "You lie"
She said, "You lie"
God save my baby boy
My baby boy
My baby boy
My baby boy
It was a cold day
He had a hot night
With a head full of this
And a soul needing that
And now you can't go back
It was a cold day
He had a hot night
With a head full of this
And a soul needing that
And now you can't go back
You can't go back, you can't go back
