Just a boy

We fail, all the time
Sometimes it's your fault, just as often it is mine
We try our best, to do our best
To maybe give that one person, a little more than the rest

So we give our focus, attention and love
Hold on tight in dark corners, and look to the above
Hoping, wanting and longing for
This kid, this kid, if he could kid me no more

Up and down, here wo go
Underprivileged society, where the kids have no say so
We ache for them, they ache back
sometimes confiding, sometimes with 'get the hell back'

This little kid, remember he's just a boy
Now stealing heavy stuff, starting with a toy
What satisfies him he thinks, is his very own best
To maybe make him feel, a little bit better than the rest

So we give our focus, attention and love
Hold on tight in dark corners, and look to the above
Hoping, wanting as you realize what you're longing for
Is for this kid, this kid, to kid himself no more

For better or worse I guess. Oh yes, I say with a smile.
