Well I am the boy who cried wolf

And I know I've lied in the past

But last night I saw his yellow eyes shining in the dark

Yeah I know I spun tales with his voice

And I open my mouth too fast

But last night I saw his footprints in the path

Well I could swim every sea from south pole to north

But I know I'll only ever be the boy who cried wolf

Well I am the shepherds only son

And I know what a joke I've become

I have an honest heart but I have lies on my tongue

I don't know how this started or where it came from

And you have no reason and I have no proof

But this time I swear, I'm telling the truth

I saw that old wolf, from tail to tooth

And I know that he's hungry and he's coming down too

Well I could swim every sea from south pole to north

And I could climb every tree, and scale every coarse

Well I could tell only the truth from this day forth

But I know I'll only ever be the boy who cried wolf

Oh, oh I am the boy who cried wolf

Oh, I am the boy who cried
