He has gone
To breathe an air
Beyond his own
Toward a 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 stood alone
Boy boy
Just a boy
Just a little boy
[ ]
Just a little boy
Who will never grow
Toward another He has gone To breathe an air Beyond his own Toward a 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 stood alone Boy boy Just a boy Just a little boy [ ] Just a little boy Who will never grow Explain Request ×
