Lyrics
They told me first runaway little boy
Straighten up get yourself employed
Turn it all around find your own way now
You got some stories to tell time to show them how
They said leave your past where it lies
Don’t you act up or we’ll throw you to the tides
We thought you’d drown but boy you swam instead(I just wanted to write but boy in a song and get away with it)
Keep on moving now remember boy to raise your head
They told me secondly life’s a game don’t you stray
Find your footing don’t you ever fade away
Chase your dreams let the truth unfold
Stand your ground boy time to be bold
I told them last through storms I found song
In the dark that’s where I stayed strong
My path never clear every step every fear
Lives in a world of sight the wronged shine so bright
