So long so long so long he's been away So long so long so long he's back again I turned seventeen We had pa**ion we had dreams Thought the love we were fighting for Was something holy something more. When I turned twenty-one we were outside on the run. When I walked out with my girl we went halfway 'round the world Chorus: I dreamed than I saw her standing there running for the boy inside the man I was hit hard by a light so bight it burned All at once I knew she'd understand understand Boy inside the man The boy inside he man. When I turned tweniy-five we were hungry we had drive When I turned much older then When the boy was lost in pride Now I just turned thirty-one I have lost and I have won Still I've kept my dreams alive 'cause this boy will never die CHORUS I dreamed... AH Do you understand CHORUS The boy inside the man CHORUS I reamed... So long so long so long you been away So long so long so long you're back again Sister cool this face as if it's carved in stone Don't leave m in his place like a boy wihout a home (repeat) Boy inside the man
