Boy Inside the Man (Acoustic Version) Lyrics

So long so long so long he's been away
So long so long so long he's back againWhen I turned seventeen
We had passion, we had dreams
Thought the love we were fighting for
Was something holy, something moreWhen I turned twenty-one
We were outside on the run
When I walked out with my girl
We went halfway around the worldI dreamed I saw her standing there
Running for the boy inside the man
I was hit hard by the light so bright it burned
All at once I knew she'd understand
Boy inside the man
The boy inside the man
When I turned twenty-five
We were hungry, we had drive
When I turned much older then
When the boy was lost in prideNow I just turned thirty-one
I have lost and I have won

Still I've kept my dreams alive
Cause the boy will never dieI dreamed I saw her standing there
Running for the boy inside the man
I was hit hard by the light so bright it burned
All at once I knew she'd understand
Boy inside the man
The boy inside the man
When I turned twenty-five
We were hungry, we had drive
When I turned much older then
When the boy was lost in prideAh do you understandI dreamed I saw her standing there
Running for the boy inside the man
I was hit hard by the light so bright it burned
All at once I knew she'd understand
Boy inside the man
The boy inside the man
When I turned twenty-five
We were hungry, we had drive
When I turned much older then
When the boy was lost in prideThe boy inside the man
The boy inside the man
So long so long so long
You been away
So long so long so long
You're back againSister cool this face
As if it's carved in stone
Don't leave me in this place
Like a boy without a home
Like a boy without a home
Boy inside the man
