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
