Boys Inside The Man

So long, so long
So long he's been away
So long, so long
So long he's back again

When I turned seventeen
We had passion, we had dreams
Thought the love we were fighting for
Was something holy, something more

When I turned twenty-one
We were outside on the run
When I walked out with my girl
We went halfway around the world

I dreamed that I saw her standing there
They're running for the boy inside the man
I was, hit hard by the light so bright it burned
And all at once I knew she'd understand
Understand, understand
Boy inside the man
Boy inside the man

When I turned twenty-five
We were hungry, we had drive
When I turned much older then
'Cause the boy was lost in pride

Now I just turned thirty-one
And I've lost and I have won
Still I've kept my dreams alive
'Cause the boy will never die
Never die, no

I dreamed that I saw her standing there
They're running for the boy inside the man
I was, hit hard by the light so bright it burned
And all at once I knew she'd understand
Understand, understand
Boy inside the man
Boy inside the man
I dreamed understand

I dreamed that I saw her standing there
They're running for the boy inside the man
I was, hit hard by the light so bright, it burned
And all at once I knew she'd understand
Understand, understand

I dreamed that I saw her standing there
They're running for the boy inside the man
I was, hit hard by the light so bright it burned
And all at once I knew she'd understand
Understand, understand
Boy inside the man
Boy inside the man
Boy inside the man
Boy inside the man

So long, so long
So long he's been away
So long, so long
So long he's back again
So long, so long
So long he's been away
So long, so long
So long he's back again
