Lyrics

Who Are You?

Ten years old, stuck inside a school
a day-dreamer inside, but not allowed to be a fool
but what could ever happen?
let the poor boy dream
but teacher is the captain to shape his destiny ·

Chorus
what?s it gonna take?
how far can he go?
how much can he dream?
who are you to say no?

twenty years gone by, standing in his suit and tie
life has taught him to try anything else
wasn?t worth a damn to try
but inside is the small boy waiting to climb out
lost inside a grown man, scared to dream aloud

Chorus

Bridge
life is too short
without waiting for trees to fly away
even small boys need some time
to let their minds drift away

sitting in a chair by the window in a nursing home
people all around him, but inside he?s mostly all alone
so he falls asleep and dreams
the pain has left without a trace
a nurse comes by to feed him
and keep his conscious mind in place

Chorus
