Lyrics
IN HIS OWN WORLD © McEwan/Morgan 2008
He's playing in the garden
chasing butterflies
who knows what goes on in his head
or lies, behind those blue eyes.
His parents try to understand,
what else can they do.
But sometimes he goes so far within
that they don't they don't know what to do
they don't know what to do.
But in his own world
he looks happy to me.
What does he see in his own world.
In his own world, he looks happy to me
what does he see in his own world.
What does he make of life
of life.
The experts they offer such good advice
but when that boy starts screaming
it's like being trapped
like being trapped in a vice
like being trapped in a vice.
Everybody loves him
so very much.
But sometimes he goes so far within
that they don't, they don't know what do to
Sometimes he'll reach out for their hands.
Sometimes they think he understands.
Sometimes he'll laugh out loud with joy.
Sometimes he's such a normal boy.
Sometimes, sometimes
But in his own world
he looks happy to me.
What does he see in his own world.
In his own world, he looks happy to me
what does he see in his own world.
What does he make of life
of life.
