Breath For The Boy Lyrics by Joan Shelley

The Spur

0

He opens his eyes
Breathes in his disguise
He wants to speak
Says he's been snubbed out
Too many times
He clutched his heart
Each morning when the bus exhaust creeped in
Bones just shattering
Fear it poisoned him
Give a breath
Give a breath
Give a breath for the boy
Give a breath for the boy
That sweet one who tried for touch
Curly brown hair and chin to the wind
Counts all he's lost, but he hides his wins
Not sure he'll get enough
He's praying for
All the world to be free again
'Cause he came in laughing
He sang so loud
They said 'quiet down'
Give a breath
Give a breath
Give a breath for the boy
Give a breath for the boy
Each dream an age
Each revelation reveals a new cage
Show 'em the man that you could have been
If you weren't so full of rage
Give a breath
Give a breath
Give a breath for the boy
Give a breath for the boy
