For the Boy - Emily Riddle

[00:25.86]It was bright and it was burning
[00:28.91]
[00:29.77]the fire in his chest
[00:31.48]
[00:32.27]he was smart and he was cunning
[00:34.53]
[00:35.60]he thought deeper than the rest
[00:37.82]
[00:38.77]It was sweet and it was warm
[00:42.23]The spirit in his eyes
[00:44.59]
[00:45.26]I guess some things have to die
[00:48.18]to grow up farther
[00:49.40]
[00:52.24]If you take something pretty
[00:54.82]and you throw it in the mud
[00:57.40]
[00:57.92]It might break and loose its blood
[01:01.11]and lay there silent
[01:02.32]
[01:05.13]But it is not the end, he can make it live again
[01:10.50]
[01:11.11]give him time to define what he is missing
[01:15.46]
[01:17.72]And someday the boy will breathe enough to cry
[01:21.67]
[01:27.24]You see him rough you see him cold
[01:29.63]
[01:31.01]He's someone you don't know
[01:32.86]
[01:33.69]He's become hard and become bold
[01:36.78]
[01:37.30]For reasons he won't show
[01:39.31]
[01:40.14]You wonder how to make him change
[01:42.65]
[01:43.72]But you know its not your place
[01:45.86]
[01:46.60]You keep loving, waiting for the day
[01:50.87]
[01:53.79]If you take something pretty
[01:56.27]and you throw it in the mud
[01:59.02]
[01:59.59]It might break and loose its blood
[02:02.73]and lay there silent
[02:04.22]
[02:06.73]But it is not the end, he can make it live again
[02:11.77]
[02:12.61]give him time to define what he is missing
[02:16.94]
[02:19.52]And someday the boy will breathe enough to cry
[02:23.49]
[02:29.03]And someday the boy will breathe enough to cry
[02:33.58]
