Little Boy Don't You See?

Location

 

Little boy don't you see?

This life I live isn't made for you nor me.

For what I carry and for what I hold.

This fixture you have of me, isn't the truth of what I told.

 

Little boy don't you see?

This life you live, is a life of purity.

Don't grow too fast.

Don't grow too slow.

Step back a little bit.

And watch your dreams grow.

 

Little boy don't you see!?

I'm telling you to never become like me.

For I too have been through pain.

Far more than you can believe.

Don't let yourself become deceived.

 

 

Little boy now you see.

This world of ours isn't in harmony. 


Some days you will ache, while others you'll bleed.

But promise me one thing.

That you'll always stay strong

And always believe.

 

 

My little boy, don't become like me…
