the lost boy

Lyrics

i left my home still as a child, i walked a thousand sorry miles, to wait for my father, to gather up his tools, he said my boy you've got to run, don't wait for me, don't wait for mum, we'll come get you, when it's safe for us to move, so i waited many years, held back the pain behind my tears, for my father, to come find me like he said, and in that time i was alone, so many years without my home, i made brothers of a different kind instead, and in the time i didn't know, just how hard the wind could blow, towards disaster, and the things that i would see, i never found my father, i never found my mother, even would i know in my lifetime i will be, a hero into the masses, to those born without chances, there's a freedom that everyone deserves, i know there's greed and there's corruption, i've seen death and mass destruction, but i'm telling you, and i hope that i'm heard, and i will not be commanded, and i will not be controlled, and i will not let my future go on, without the help of my soul, and i will not be commanded, and i will not be controlled, and i will not let my future go on, without the help of my soul, and i will not be commanded, and i will not be controlled, and i will not let my future go on, without the help of my soul, i will not be commanded, i will not be controlled, and i will not let my future go on, without the help of my soul
