Lyrics
Once upon a time, there was a little young boy He was walking, along the road like a stranger Dreaming one day he'll be a great man He keeps trying, try and reach for the sky He gets lost more than he tries, why oh why He feels all the pain, why oh why 'Cause the baby's cry when is future he'll learn more He gets lost more than he tries, why oh why He feels all the pain, why oh why 'Cause a woman still loves says when she's in my heart
