Hideaway

[Verse 1]

One day the boy decided

To let them know the way he felt inside

He could not stand to hide it

His mother she broke down and cried

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh my father, why don't you talk to me now?

Oh my mother, do you still cry yourself to sleep?

Are you still proud of your little boy?

[Chorus]

Don't be afraid (Be afraid)

You don't have to hide away

[Verse 2]

The boy, he was rejected

By the people that he cared for

It's not what they expected

But he could not keep it secret anymore

[Pre-Chorus]

Far from home now

Waiting by the telephone

There's a new world

You can make it on your own

Are you still proud of your little boy?

[Chorus]

Don't be afraid (Be afraid)

You don't have to hide away, no

Don't be afraid

Love will mend your broken wing

Time will slip away

Learn to be brave

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh my father, why don't you talk to me now?

My mother, do you still cry yourself to sleep?

Are you still proud of your little boy?

[Chorus]

Don't be afraid (Be afraid)

You don't have to hide away, no

Don't be afraid

Love will mend your broken wing

Time will slip away

Learn to be brave
