Tekst piosenki
[Verse 1]
There was a boy
Playing on a swing
Deep in love with life
Loving everything
[Verse 2]
And he’d speak to God
When all alone
Making deals with God
'Bout his dreams and hopes
[Verse 3]
When the night would fall
And he’d lie in bed
Listening to the tunes
Playing in his head
[Chorus]
And the boy made a wish
Prayed to God up high
„Let me write a song
Makes the whole world cry
Let me write a song
So tender, sad, and sweet
The kind of song
Drops men to their knees.”
[Hook]
Nowhere near a man
He didn’t understand…
[Verse 4]
That to write a song
Makes the whole world cry
Have to hold the hand
Of a friend who dies
Hear your brother curse your name
Watch your mother fade away
While crooks steal your gold
Suffer years being alone
[Hook]
Nowhere near a man
He didn’t understand…
[Verse 5]
That to write a song
Makes the whole world cry
Have to fall in love
Then be denied
Meet hopeless kids
Raised in cruel neglect
Hear animals scream
Tortured half to death
[Chorus]
There was a boy
Prayed to God up high
„Let me write a song
Makes the whole world cry
Let me write a song
Tender, sad, and sweet
The kind of song
Drops men to their knees.”
[Bridge]
If I could reach that boy
Before it gets too late
Warn him there are wishes
You should never make
[Verse 6]
But that boy was me
And it’s far too late
Wrote this song in tears
Wrote this song in pain
[Verse 7]
And now I’m a man
And now I understand
So torn up inside
Just want to cry
[Outro]
I want to cry…cry…cry
Oh, God, I want to cry
I want to cry
