I'm just a boy
I watch cartoons and play with toys
While others just see trash around my feet
In my mind I like to fly away
See the whole world in just one day
So the worries of my world don't bother me
Oh, don't bring me down, I'm just a boy
Now I'm growing up and people say
I look like my father more each day
And I smile as my stomach turns inside
Seventeen years of looking at his face
Speed's the key as he starts his race
And just a little pill to help him end his ride
Oh, valium brings him down, Oh, I'm just a boy
You can say that it's okay
But I will never forget the day
A strange car came and he got inside
And I knew he'd never make it through that ride
Oh, I was just a boy
Now I'm just a man
Working day to day the best I can
My office overlooks a busy street
Now I'm finally free
Thanks to a fortune on therapy
I have a house and a car
And they say I dress pretty neat
Oh, you can't bring me down
No, you can't bring me down
I'm not a boy
You can say that it's okay
But I will never forget the day
I looked in the mirror and was filled with grief
When I saw my father's face staring back at me
Now I'm spiraling down
Spending weeks in a hospital gown
And my money's all run out
Who remembers what charity's about?
Oh, help, I'm falling down
Oh, help me, I'm falling down
I am just a boy
