Once I met a silly boy Ordinary as could be But not so ordinary If you looked more carefully The kid was smarter than the others It was not hard to get it But he's never been his mother's dream He was too shy to admit it He never had too many friends He didn't handle it so well It was not cool, the kids from school Just made his life a hell He felt so different when he was In his own world of his room Where he could shine, sing lullabies Or just fly to the moon So wrong, he suffered alone No one could see behind his smiling face Stuck on this circle of innocent lies That's where he could hide He had to hold on Insisting on his own denials So he could feel human He had to move on Resisting a gazillion miles So he could be like the others The boy has grown and he has thrown His past down the drain But sometimes he still sheds a tear When he recalls the pain But he's not weak, not such a freak His feet are on the ground Although he feels his future is lost Somewhere to be found So wrong, he bears it alone Different problems, or maybe just the same Stuck on his circle of innocent lies Just trying to hide He has to hold on Insisting on his own denials So he can feel human He has to move on Resisting a gazillion miles So he can be like the others But he can't fool himself by saying it's Ok Deep inside he knows he's still afraid Will anyone hear when he cries for help? Or will he be forgotten like an old book on the shelf? Once I met a silly boy Ordinary as could be But not so ordinary If you looked more carefully
