Be a Boy
Wouldn't it have been better if I never existed?
My wounded heart says (it says)
That’s what they want me to think
Don’t give up, boy
Even just to take a break
I couldn’t get anyone to let me
Just a little more fun
Get out of the boring stuff
Choose only the good times
Ahead of that outstretched hand
There’s endless joy waiting
The pain I can’t carry
Is fine if I don’t carry it
There’s no need to suffer unnecessarily
Everyone’s free to do as they please
Like a bird that can soar
Like a fish that can leap
In that playground
Be freer than anyone
Be a boy who can laugh
If you dress in trendy clothes
Tomorrow will feel old
Whether you chase it or can’t catch it
Choose the one that seems fun
Ahead of those stepping feet
There’s endless happiness waiting
If you have worries you don’t understand
It’s fine if you don’t understand
Don’t rush and act like you know it all
Everyone’s just a piece of fruit
If there’s a reason you were born
Even if it’s late, it’s still amazing
Let the wind blow
Let yourself be carried by the stream
Be a boy who can learn
The pain I can’t carry
Is fine if I don’t carry it
There’s no need to suffer
Unnecessarily, everyone’s free to do as they please
Like a bird that can soar
Like a fish that can leap
On this planet
Be freer than anyone
Be a boy who is loved.
