Boy Inside The Man

So long, so long, so long, he's been away
 So long, so long, so long, he's back again
 When I turned seventeen
 We had passion, we had dreams
 Thought the love we were fighting for
 Was something holy, something more
 When I turned twenty-one
 We were outside on the run
 When I walked out with my girl, hey
 We went halfway around the world, around the world and that
 I dreamed that I saw her standing there
 They're running for the boy inside the man
 I was hit hard by the light so bright it burned
 And all at once I knew she'd understand (understand, understand)
 Boy inside the man
 The boy inside the man
 When I turned twenty-five
 We were hungry, we had drive
 When I turned much older then
 Ah 'cause the boy was lost in pride
 Now I just turned thirty-one
 And I have lost and I have won
 Still I've kept my dreams alive
 Ah 'cause the boy will never die, never die
 And that I dreamed that I saw her standing there
 They're running for the boy inside the man
 I was hit hard by the light so bright it burned
 And all at once I knew she'd understand (understand, understand)
 The boy inside the man
 The boy inside the man
 Ah do you understand?
 And that I dreamed that I saw her standing there
 They're running for the boy inside the man
 I was hit hard by the light so bright, it burned
 And all at once I knew she'd understand (understand, understand)
 And that I dreamed that I saw her standing there
 They're running for the boy inside the man
 I was hit hard by the light so bright, it burned
 And all at once I knew she'd understand (understand, understand)
 Boy inside the man (hit hard by the light so bright)
 The boy inside the man (hit hard by the light so bright)
 The boy inside the man (hit hard by the light so bright)
 Boy inside the man yeah (hit hard by the light so bright)
 So long, so long, so long, he's been away
 So long, so long, so long, he's back again
 So long, so long, so long, he's been away
 So long, so long, so long, he's back again
 Hey, let it, let it, hey
 Hey, let it, let it be, let it be
 Boy inside the man
 Ah let it be, let it be
 So long, so long, so long, you been away
 So long, back again
 So long, so long, so long, you been away
 So long, so long, so long, you're back again
 Sister cool this face
 As if it's carved in stone
 Don't leave me in this place
 Like a boy without a home
 Like a boy without a home (with a)
