The Lost Boy Songtext / Lyric

I left my home still as a child

I walked a thousand soary miles

To wait for my father, to gather up his truth



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
