Oh it's hard to

Be a boy

When

All the men have

Lost their joy

And they can't find the ones they left behind.

Harder still to think

Of being a man

In this world of

No lessons or love,

It's only war that men be thinking of.

Should you stay

Or should you come down with me?

Is that the question

You are asking of me?

And do you think that you can

Take the answer?

As it turns,

You have to wear life well.

Come down with me,

Come down

When you need me

But for now I want you

To be happy.

Sometimes life does

Things to you

That will hurt you

And confuse you,

But when you're left behind

You're sure to find.

I am with you though I can't

Come with you.

I am in you and I'm

Always part of you,

And all you ever have to do

To bring me to you

Is come down with me,

Come down

When you need me,

But for now I want you

To be happy.

So you must go back home,

That's where you belong.

You must go back home.

You must go back home,

That's where you belong.

You must go back home,

And I can't come along...
