Who is this boy?

Who is this boy from afar?

I wonder what he’s thinking

I wonder who you are

I see, though you try to hide

Courage. Strength. Beauty inside.

Yet, Innocence denied.

Pure of heart, this very soul

Sad brown eyes, this I know

I see you all alone

Who matters to you, I wonder?

What causes you to worry?

What gives you your thunder?

Who is this boy before you?

But flesh and blood and bone

Oh how I wish I knew
