When I was a boy
Everything was so secure
Until I opened my front door
And faced the world in my eyes
When I was a boy
We never had to compromise
The world we knew was in our command
On the other side dreams subside
It seems like it isn't for real
But I can feel it is very real
I never thought, I never thought
My feelings would leave me this way
I got so far but now
It doesn't feel all right this isn't home
When I was a boy
We never had to understand
We tried to prove ourselves something
While our minds got filled with lies
When I was a boy
Untouched to say the least
The future prospects and all the best
Still I wonder where sincerity lies
It seems like it isn't for real
But I can feel it is very real
I never thought, I never thought
My feelings would leave me this way
I got so far but now
It doesn't feel all right this isn't home
