Lyrics

Boy Inside the Man, By Kenny Weill

You watched the world in wonder
How lightning called to thunder
Dinosaurs inside the clouds
Trying to make your mother proud

You knew what’s wrong and what’s right
Down from up and black from white
Now it seems everything’s gray
Adrift in a fog you’ve lost your way

Chorus:
Do you feel like your best days are behind you
As you struggle just to push through
Cuz the flame went out inside the man

You had no fear or self-doubt
Stood up straight and stuck your chin out
Daring the world to prove you wrong
Led the way and let the others tag along

Chorus:
Do you feel like your best days are behind you
As you struggle just to push through
Cuz the flame went out inside the man
The cynics and the fools they’ll misdirect you
Only you can resurrect you
And find the boy inside the man

Bridge:
Is there any joy that you can stand
Is there still a boy inside the man

Reality has swept away
Your ideals of yesterday
Holding on to what is true
Wondering what the child within would do

Chorus:
Do you feel like your best days are behind you
As you struggle just to push through
Cuz the flame went out inside the man
The cynics and the fools they’ll misdirect you
Only you can resurrect you
And find the boy inside the man
Yeah, find the boy inside the man
