Lost Boy

He said, I seem to live from day to day, never knowing where life will lead
No plans for the future, no dreams to fulfil
And he wonders if this is what he is destined to be
The lost boy feels hurt and anger when his spirit should be free

He said, I need a chance to prove myself, Oh Mamma, can't you see
The boy that left you has got a heart after all
Oh Mamma can you give me a chance, just you wait and see.
The lost boy needs your guidance, can you give it to me

CHORUS
The lost boy looks in the mirror and doesn't like what he sees
He sees only failure, not the potential he could be
The lost boy feels pain and anger, he lives beneath a cloud
Dark thoughts are held within him, never spoken out loud

BRIDGE
But I'm here in the background waiting anxiously
To see a light come forth, right in front of me
My soul feels black and hollow and I'm trying to get the light
I'm finding self-respect, but Mama will be alright

She said, my heart goes out to you my son, I hear your every word
Treat it as a stepping stone; take it slowly day by day
Just believe your soul is beautiful, the lessons are now in place
You were made out of love and you should never lose face

Don't ever feel that I threw you away, it's what had to be done
I love you more than words can say, this is my answer to you my son
Just believe your soul is beautiful and the darkness will fade away
If you could see yourself through my eyes, you'd be proud in every way

CHORUS
The lost boy looks in the mirror and doesn't like what he sees
He sees only failure, not the potential he could be
The lost boy feels pain and anger, he lives beneath a cloud
Dark thoughts are held within him, never spoken out loud

The lost boy looks in the mirror and doesn't like what he sees
He sees only failure, not the potential he could be
The lost boy feels pain and anger, he lives beneath a cloud
Dark thoughts are held within him, never spoken out loud
Dark thoughts are held within him, never spoken out loud
