Lyrics
Once upon a time, there was a little young boy He was walking, along the road like stranger Dreaming one day he'd be a big man He'll keep trying, try and reach for the sky He gets lost the more that he tries, why oh why He feels all the pain, why oh why 'Cause the babies cry when there's few to feed the world He gets lost the more that he tries, why oh why He feels all the pain, why oh why 'Cause a woman's still up safe when she's filled with love

Song Production Information
This alternative rock song is another port from IIDX.
Playing 2P on this song is like playing in a band, so get together with someone and give it a try.
Video Production Information
It's almost embarrassing how romantic I ended up making the video.
10 out of 10 people thought that it was a girl in the above background... I intended for it to be a boy.
I had this weird determination to make the prince have a bob haircut.
Feel free to try and imagine your own unique story by cobbling the various pieces of art together.
For example, what if the wolf boy that appears mid-song is actually the prince?
