There Was A Boy Lyrics - Singles - Catman Cohen

There was a boy 

Playing on a swing 

Deep in love with life 

Loving everything 

And he'd speak to God 

When all alone 

Making deals with God 

'Bout his dreams and hopes 

When the night would fall 

And he'd lie in bed 

Listening to the tunes 

Playing in his head 

And the boy made a wish 

Prayed to God up high 

"Let me write a song 

Makes the whole world cry 

Let me write a song 

So tender, sad, and sweet 

The kind of song 

Drops men to their knees" 

Nowhere near a man 

He didn't understand..... 

That to write a song 

Makes the whole world cry 

Have to hold the hand 

Of a friend who dies 

Hear your brother curse your name 

Watch your mother fade away 

While crooks steal your gold 

Suffer years being alone 

Nowhere near a man 

He didn't understand.... 

That to write a song 

Makes the whole world cry 

Have to fall in love 

Then be denied 

Meet hopeless kids 

Raised in cruel neglect 

Hear animals scream 

Tortured half to death 

There was a Boy 

Prayed to God up high 

"Let me write a song 

Makes the whole world cry 

Let me write a song 

Tender, sad, and sweet 

The kind of song 

Drops men to their knees" 

If I could reach that boy 

Before it gets too late 

Warn him there are wishes 

You should never make 

But that boy was me 

And it's far too late 

Wrote this song in tears 

Wrote this song in pain 

And now I'm a man 

And now I understand 

So torn up inside 

Just want to cry 

I want to cry...cry...cry 

Oh, God, I want to cry 

I want to cry
