The boy that walks alone from school
You see him not knowing how he feels
He sits there empty away all that is real
You don’t know anything
Fear consumes him as he stands in the rain
His life shattered, like little pieces of glass
I won’t dare talk of his pain, because
I don’t know anything
But he’s still among the light
Hoping to stay away from darkness
He sheds light and glimmers hope
Believed in truth, believes in something greater
His imagination is the very expression of life
His dreams are what keeps him awake at night
He trains well in the enigmatic view
There is life to him, you all never knew
'Cause here he stands and questions you
Where you fall, as he stands for all that is true
You see him not knowing how he feels
He sits there empty away all that is real
You don’t know anything
Fear consumes him as he stands in the rain
His life shattered, like little pieces of glass
I won’t dare talk of his pain, because
I don’t know anything
But he’s still among the light
Hoping to stay away from darkness
He sheds light and glimmers hope
Believed in truth, believes in something greater
His imagination is the very expression of life
His dreams are what keeps him awake at night
He trains well in the enigmatic view
There is life to him, you all never knew
'Cause here he stands and questions you
Where you fall, as he stands for all that is true
