If A Boy

If ever a boy could stand on the moon

What would that boy do

Would he swing from the stars

Skip stones past Jupiter and Mars

If he could stand on the moon

If he could tell the world his dreams

No matter how far out they seem

Think of the people he could change

And the minds he'd rearrange

If he could tell the world his dreams

If a boy could make is father proud

He'd live his life upon a cloud

It would be easier then

If he could please the man of man

If he could make his father proud

But for now he's grounded, waiting for some inspiration

Thinking of a way to make his dreams come true

Ever changing ever lasting world is spinning ever faster

But he knows to hold on tight

If he could live forever more

Think of the places he'd explore

No fear of death or life of fate

Mindless of prejudice and hate

If he could live forever more

If he could win her with a smile

If life was easy like a child's

He'd smile at every girl he'd see

Until he finds what's meant to be

If he could win her with a smile

And one day he will wake up to find

The life he once lived left behind

But will he like the brand new place he's in

Sitting wanting waiting wishing

Useless time with no ambition

But he knows that this is not the way for him

If he had known it was the end

What would he have done different then

Would he make sure to say goodbye

Or would he just lay down and cry

If he had known it was the end
