Little Boy on the Moon

when i was a young one, there was someone
who once had told me
that all of these faces, frm diferent places
are out to tell me

the pain in their lives, through their eyes
can disapear in a dream
but then i was older, so much bolder
then i started to hear the screams

and then i cried out

little boy on the moon
you showed me what it takes to fly
you told me that it is inside

little boy on the moon
you showed me what my dreams could be
you took my hand when i couldnt breathe

little boy on the moon
wont you come down here for the very first time
and see that life is not just a merry go round

he tried to convince me, no matter how we
spend our nights in the cold
theres always one way, in any given day
that the crying just gets too old

but when i look back, and try to see that
everybody still has a hold
i only see one thing, their true feelings
that the sorrows are always untold

and so i shout out

little boy on the moon
you showed me what it takes to fly
you told me that it is inside

little boy on the moon
you showed me what my dreams could be
you took my hand when i couldnt breathe

little boy on the moon
wont you come down here for the very first time
and see that life is not just a merry go round

little boy, take a look around
do you see the cries behind the smiles
do you see the plea behind the free
little boy, little boy
the moon is just a place of gold
why dont you live your life on this road

and so he took my advice, without thinking twice
to prove what he believed
the cries through the streets, of all the sufferings
pearced his heart through his ears

and less than a day pass, with all the contrasts
he gave his soul to the wind
little boy little boy
you only belong in a dream
