The Boy Who Could Fly

There was a boy where I live

Who climbed onto a bridge

And stood upon the edge of the sky

And I saw his face the next day

When the tributes were paid

By his friends who would never know why

And I never knew him

But I saw the ruin

Of a life just like mine

And he was just another one

Another broken mothers son

Who left without saying goodbye

Another boy who could fly

Who sailed upon the clouds into the night

He left life behind to find

Freedom from the fire in his mind

Cause this world isn’t kind to those who lose their light

Like the boy who could fly

I was a boy just like him

Every party would begin

When I’d arrive with a smile on my face

But in silence I’d fight

All the violence inside

Then I’d drink until I drown it all away

So when I heard the news of what he’d done

It was time to finally tell someone

That I was barely getting by

Cause I don’t wanna be another one

Another broken mothers son

So I found the help he needed that night

Another boy who could fly

Who sailed upon the clouds into the night

He left life behind to find

Freedom from the fire in his mind

Cause this world isn’t kind to those who lose their light

Like the boy who could fly

And I wish he knew how his death saved me

I’d of saved him too if maybe I’d been there that night

With the boy who could fly

The boy who could fly

The boy who could fly

The boy who could fly

The boy who could fly
