A boy who runs through the rain with no fear Smiling wide With nothing to hide He learned real young how to fall, how to rise That living means taking chances Not just getting by In the streets, he found what friendship means To share what little you have is to live like kings He learned the world won't always be fair But he never lost that childhood glare With sharp eyes, always watching the road He keeps moving strong Never walks alone Every stumble teaches him to stand tall Living life While staring down the fall Now grown, he wears on his chest The marks of time Of pride and respect But deep inside, it still remains The boy’s laughter Dancing in the rain A boy who learns from every scar Knows life won’t always take you far Still, he walks on With faith in his gaze 'Cause those who believe Will find their way He built his shield from the hardest days Never backs down Never runs away He knows the fight can’t ever stop Only the ones who persist Reach the top Now he’s a man, but still holds tight The soul of a warrior Who never lost sight ‘Cause deep inside, it’s plain to see That boy never stopped being me No golden cradle – never knew that life Never had a bed I could call mine A hard life made him strong to the core I think that boy That boy was me, for sure
