With all your little toys
Your eyes have seen the world
Though you're only four years old
And your tears are streaming
Even when you're smiling
Please never be afraid to cry
You're a beautiful boy
With all your little ploys
Your mind has changed the world
And you're now forty years old
You got all you can carry
And still feel somehow empty
Don't ever be afraid to fly
All you beautiful boys
Creating multiple plays
You like to fence in your world
And settle down when you're old
You can run from pole to pole
And never scratch your soul
Don't be afraid to go to hell and back
Don't be afraid to go to hell and back
Don't be afraid to be afraid
You're a beautiful boy With all your little toys Your eyes have seen the world Though you're only four years old And your tears are streaming Even when you're smiling Please never be afraid to cry You're a beautiful boy With all your little ploys Your mind has changed the world And you're now forty years old You got all you can carry And still feel somehow empty Don't ever be afraid to fly All you beautiful boys Creating multiple plays You like to fence in your world And settle down when you're old You can run from pole to pole And never scratch your soul Don't be afraid to go to hell and back Don't be afraid to go to hell and back Don't be afraid to be afraid Explain Request ×
