Toward another 
He has gone 
To breathe an air 
Beyond his own 
Toward a wisdom 
Beyond the shelf 
Toward a dream 
That dreams itself 

About a boy 
Beyond it all 
About a boy 
Beyond it all 

From the forest 
From the foam 
From the field 
That he had 
Known 
Toward a river 
Twice as blessed 
Toward the inn 
Of happiness 

About a boy 
Beyond it all 
About a boy 
Beyond it all 

From a chaos 
Raging sweet 
From the deep 
And dismal street 
Toward another 
Kind of peace 
Toward the great 
Emptiness 

About a boy 
Beyond it all 
About a boy 
Beyond it all 

[ ] 
I stood among them 
I stood alone 
Boy boy 
Just a boy 
Just a little boy 
[ ] 
Just a little boy 
Who will never grow
