Boy

Lyrics

So complete, and so breathe deeply for the life in which you wake
 Grateful heart and helpless mind that reels with every chance you take
 Dreams never take me far away, hide me from your love
 Wake to call your name, and when you slow down, you'll surely say
 I know, blowing in the wind, there's a voice that calls my name
 "Don't fear your life, boy, grow and change"
 It came running through the earth where the pine and tall grass grew
 Leading me always, close to you
 In the clearness of the spring, heard you calling, heard you sing
 "This marks the end of all that's through, I have a better plan for you"
 Still, I'm afraid of what I am
 Save me from my soul, you can't make me whole
 Still, I find my voice and say
 I know, blowing in the wind, there's a voice that calls my name
 "Don't fear your life, boy, grow and change"
 It came running through the earth where the pine and tall grass grew
 Leading me, always, close to you
 For a hundred years we wait, and with every breath we take
 Learn to bury our mistake
 Do I lead myself towards pain?
 Every song we raise in vain, every fire only flame
 Raise the children now to keep, every virtue that you seek
 Hoping one day they'll receive
 "We are nothing but the dust that gathers down below the plain
 We'll be gone and you'll remain"
 Now what was far away draws near, teach me to belong
 I no longer fear
 I know, blowing in the wind, there's a voice that calls my name
 "Don't fear your life, boy, grow and change"
 It came running through the earth where the pine and tall grass grew
 Leading me, always, close to you
