If A Boy
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.
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
