Hush little boy, please don't cry. Just dry your tears and take my hand. The world is harsh and cruel for strangers and people like us that understand that the skies are blue for those who reach, and the sun is warm for those who try. And the ones that turn their heads from hope might as well lay down and die. You can't understand why people hate people. You're tired of pretending so you can fit in. You've only begun to taste the nectar of freedom. So forget the rest and never give in. Now, little boy, stand up tall. Give the rest a shoulder to stand. To feel the light is to share the warmth. To use its strength is to offer your hand. So soar, little boy, spread your wings. Your purpose found your inhibitions shunned. Melt the ice that has so long bound you. For your life has just begun; youth for you was oh so hard. I wore a mask to hide the scars. It took so long for me to see. I don't want you to hurt like me. The truth is so damn hard to find. I spent my days lost in my mind, but now I reach towards the sky. So soar, little boy, soar so high. Spread your wings, learn to fly. Set your soul free before you die.
