there was a boy who said he'd get away from all that weighed him down
his eyes could stretch so far, the world was much more than this town
said there were places he must go and sights that he must see
stand on the opposite side of the world so he could finally be free
his mind was full of wonders and he was yearning to be gone
sleep under the golden sun so he could brave the seas at dawn
gaze at the clouds as they slowly pass and count the stars at night
all his bones would be delighted as the light in his soul ignites
he will find a girl sitting on the stars and singing his favorite song
the kind that catches your attention and makes you sing along
brought her down so he could feel more real than he'd ever felt before
with her he'd freeze in the coldest weather and not care anymore
there was once a boy who boldly said he would run away from it all
said a beautiful sunset was his sign and a light breeze was his call
he broke his bones and cleaned his mind and felt it in his heart
embraced the world that he made his and swore never to depart
