The Lost Boy

I left my home still as a child, I walked a thousand soary miles To wait for my father, to gather up his tools He said my boy you've got to run, don't wait for me, don't wait for mum We'll come get you, when it's safe for us to move So I waited many years, held back the pain behind my tears For my father, to come find me like he said And in that time I was alone, so many years without my home I made brothers of a different kind instead And at the time I didn't know, just how hard the wind could blow Towards disaster, and the things that I would see I never found my father, I never found my mother Even would I know in my lifetime I will be A hero into the masses, to those born without chances There's a freedom that everyone deserves I know there's greed and there's corruption I've seen death and mass destruction But I'm telling you, and I hope that I'm heard I will not be commanded I will not be controlled And I will not let my future go on Without the help of my soul
