Boy Inside The Man — Tom Cochrane

So long so long so long he's been away So long so long so long he's back again

When I turned seventeen We had passion, we had dreams Thought the love we were fighting for Was something holy, something more

When I turned twenty-one we were outside on the run When I walked out with my girl We went halfway around the world

Chorus

I dreamed I saw her standing there Running for the boy inside the man I was hit hard by the light so bright it burned All at once I knew she'd understand Boy inside the man The boy inside the man When I turned twenty-five We were hungry, we had drive When I turned much older then When the boy was lost in pride

Now I just turned thirty-one I have lost and I have won Still I've kept my dreams alive 'Cause the boy will never die

Chorus

Ah do you understand

Chorus

The boy inside the man The boy inside the man So long so long so long You been away So long so long so long You're back again

Sister cool this face As if it's carved in stone Don't leave me in this place Like a boy without a home (repeat) Boy inside the man
