Little Boy Heart Alive
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Open the door and run outside
Your little boy heart alive
Into the morning light
Into the deep and wide
Dinosaur bones in the flowerbed
Rockets in the clouds
In a fight with a spider's web
Tunnels in the ground
Winding to China
To the mist of the distant shore
Better be home by suppertime
Back through the planet core
Feel the beat of a distant thunder
It's the sound of an ancient song
This is the Kingdom calling
Come now and tread the dawn
Come to the father
Come to the deeper well
Drink of the water
And come to live a tale to tell
Pages are turning now
This is abundant life
The joy in the journey
Is enough to make a grown man cry
With a little boy heart alive
Kings and castles in the neighborhood
Swords on the forest floor
Dragons in the magic wood
Better saddle your battle horse
Fighting Goliath
Better choose your weapons right
Five little stones and a faith on fire
In a little boy heart alive
Chorus
Met a kid at the railroad track
He had a stick and a nylon sack
I ran to the house to pack
I wanted to follow
Take a ride on the mighty lion
Take a hold of the golden mane
This is the love of Jesus
So good but it is not tame
Chorus
Ever the road goes on and on
Ever the road goes on and on and on
