My, my
How things have changed
Since I have been away
It's the first time
But it's different I'm afraid
Where's the boy
So happy to be near it all
He's lost in the travel
Little part of me so small
Cry for me
Cry for him
Cry for the answer
Cry because it's done
Cry for the feeling
Cry for the youth
All for the prize
Through different eyes
The promise that you have made
Forgets
See it as you may
Deny it while you can
Search for the reason
As you to beg to understand
Cry for me
Cry for him
Cry for the answer
Cry because it's done
Cry for the feeling
Cry for the youth
All for the prize
Come and go
Don't get pulled into the light
Come and go
Wouldn't believe it if you tried
Come and go
It's as useless as it
You can go the end we know
You can go the end we know
I won't tell you anything So far away you are from me
(you can go the end we know)
I won't tell you anything So far away you are from me
(you can go the end we know)
I won't tell you anything So far away
(you can go the end we)
No
Cry for me
Cry for him
Cry for the answer
Cry because it's done
Cry for the feeling
Cry for the youth
All for the prize
(repeat)
My my
Swear it's been a lifetime
Since I have been away
It's the last time
But somehow it's all the same
Where's the boy
