Louis Dunford The Boy Who Could Fly
There was a boy where I live
Who climbed onto a bridge
And stood upon the edge of the sky
And I saw his face the next day
When the tributes were paid
By his friends who would never know why
And I never knew him
But I saw the ruin
Of a life just like mine
And he was just another one
Another broken mothers son
Who left without saying goodbye
Another boy who could fly
Who sailed upon the clouds into the night
He left life behind to find
Freedom from the fire in his mind
Cause this world isn't kind to those who lose their light
Like the boy who could fly
I was a boy just like him
Every party would begin
When I'd arrive with a smile on my face
But in silence I'd fight
All the violence inside
Then I'd drink until I drown it all away
So when I heard the news of what he'd done
It was time to finally tell someone
That I was barely getting by
Cause I don't wanna be another one
Another broken mothers son
So I found the help he needed that night
Another boy who could fly
Who sailed upon the clouds into the night
He left life behind to find
Freedom from the fire in his mind
Cause this world isn't kind to those who lose their light
Like the boy who could fly
And I wish he knew how his death saved me
I'd of saved him too if maybe I'd been there that night
With the boy who could fly
The boy who could fly
The boy who could fly
The boy who could fly
The boy who could fly
