John Mark Nelson Boy
So complete and so breathe deeply for the life in which you wake
Grateful heart and helpless mind that reels with every chance you take
Dreams never take me far away, hide me from your love
Wake to call your name;
And when you slow down you'll surely say:
I know blowing in the wind there's a voice that calls my name;
“Don't fear your life boy, grow and change.”
It came running through the earth where
The pine and tall grass grew;
Leading me always, close to you
In the clearness of the spring, heard you calling heard you sing:
“This marks the end of all that's through, I have a better plan for you”
Still, I'm afraid of what I am, save me from my soul
You can't make me whole;
Still I find my voice and say:
I know blowing in the wind there's a voice that calls my name;
“Don't fear your life boy, grow and change.”
It came running through the earth where
The pine and tall grass grew;
Leading me always, close to you
For a hundred years we wait, and with every breath we take
Learn to bury our mistake
Do I lead myself towards pain?
Every song we raise in vain, every fire only flame
Raise the children now to keep, every virtue that you seek;
Hoping one day they'll receive
“We are nothing but the dust that gathers down below the plain;
We'll be gone and you'll remain."
Now what was far away draws near, teach me to belong;
I know longer fear
I know blowing in the wind there's a voice that calls my name;
“Don't fear your life boy, grow and change."
It came running through the earth where
The pine and tall grass grew;
Leading me always, close to you
