Tom Cochrane - Boy Inside The Man lyrics

rate me

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

CHORUS

I dreamed I saw her standing there

Running for the boy inside the man

I was hit hard by the light so bright it burned

All at once I knew she'd understand

Boy inside the man

The boy inside the man

When I turned twenty-five

We were hungry, we had drive

When I turned much older then

When the boy was lost in pride

Now I just turned thirty-one

I have lost and I have won

Still I've kept my dreams alive

'Cause the boy will never die

CHORUS

Ah do you understand

CHORUS

The boy inside the man

The boy inside the man

So long so long so long

You been away

So long so long so long

You're back again

Sister cool this face

As if it's carved in stone

Don't leave me in this place

Like a boy without a home (repeat)

Boy inside the man
