Boys (Lesson One)

Lesson one: do not hide

Lesson two: there are right ways to fight

And if you have questions

We can talk through the night

So you know who you are

And you know what you want

I’ve been where you’re going

And it’s not that far

It’s too far to walk

But you don’t have to run

You’ll get there in time

Lesson three: you’re not alone

Not since I saw you start breathing on your own

You can leave, you can run, this will still be your home

So you know who you are

And you know what you want

I’ve been where you’re going

And it’s not that far

It’s too far to walk

But you don’t have to run

You’ll get there in time

Get there in time

In time, to wonder where the days have gone

In time, to be old enough to wish that you were young

When good things are unraveling, bad things come undone

You weather love and lose your innocence

There will be liars, and thieves who take from you

Not to undermine the consequence

But you are not what you do

When you need it most

I have a hundred reasons why I love you

So you know who you are

And you know what you want

I’ve been where you’re going

And it’s not that far

It’s too far to walk

But you don’t have to run

You’ll get there in time

So you know who you are

And you know what you want

I’ve been where you’re going

And it’s not that far

It’s too far to walk

But you don’t have to run

You’ll get there in time

Get there in time

If you weather love and lose your innocence

Just remember
