The Ballad of a Boy
Father, dear father I'm lost and alone
I've tried to make it out here on my own
But I've stumbled and fallen again and again
I'm tired dear father too tired to get up on my own
Hold on dear father don't look at me yet
Let me wipe away these tears my hearts been a cryin'
I'm so sorry father I'm no man today
Take me in your arms father and take me away
The worlds so big father, I just never knew
I thought with some elbow grease and a little can do
That this world, with a smile and hug, would welcome me
But no, their just not ou
I tried dear father, really I did
To make a name for myself
Alas I'm only a kid
Please dear father take me home
