"Breath For The Boy" lyrics

"Breath For The Boy"

He opens his eyes
Breathes in his disguise
He wants to speak
Says he's been knocked out
Too many times

He clutched his heart
Each morning when the [?]
Exhaust creeps in
Bones just shattering
Fear poisoned him

Give a breath
Give a breath
Give a breath for the boy
Give a breath for the boy

The sweet one who tried for tough
Curly brown hair and chin to the wind
Counts all he lost, but he hides his wins
Not sue he'll get enough

He is praying for
All the world to be free again
'Cause he came in laughing
He sang so loud
They said 'quiet down'

Give a breath
Give a breath
Give a breath for the boy
Give a breath for the boy

Each dream an age
Each revelation reveals a new cage
Show them the man you could have been
If you weren't so full of rage

Give a breath
Give a breath
Give a breath for the boy
Give a breath for the boy
