Lyrics
In this man is a little boy
who doesn't want to get away
from daydreams , the simple toys
the easy days of play
Getting older, people getting colder
no one looks me in the eye
It used to be they'd say to me
follow your dreams to the sky
Hey little boy I won't let you down
Won't fear dreaming I won't ever let you drown
I'm all grown up and proud to be
I'll always have you
Sometimes I'll run with you
Sometimes I am you - hey, hey, hey yeah
Responsibilities, memories,
possessions I've acquired
Explore the world, explore my soul
Seeking out what lights my fire
Living life is going fast
faster than I'd ever run
as boy, fast as Christmas
Fast as I became a man
Hey little boy I won't let you down
Won't fear dreaming I won't ever let you drown
I'm all grown up and proud to be
I'll always have you
Sometimes I'll run with you
Sometimes I am you - hey, hey, hey yeah
Taking up my little space
Got a number for ID
And my bills are coming' at me
like waves come from the sea
Been told I get too serious
Feel a hole down deep
But I can fill that hole right up
If I remember that boy in me
Hey little boy I won't let you down
Won't fear dreaming I won't ever let you drown
I'm all grown up and proud to be
I'll always have you
Sometimes I'll run with you
Sometimes I am you
Sometimes I am you
Sometimes I am you!
