Open the door and run outside   Your little boy heart alive   Into the morning light   Into the deep and wide      Dinosaur bones in the flowerbed   Rockets in the clouds   In a fight with a spider’s web   Tunnels in the ground      Winding to China   To the mist of the distant shore   Better be home by suppertime   Back through the planet core      Feel the beat of a distant thunder   It’s the sound of an ancient song   This is the Kingdom calling   Come now and tread the dawn      Come to the father   Come to the deeper well   Drink of the water    And come to live a tale to tell      Pages are turning now   This is abundant life   The joy in the journey   Is enough to make a grown man cry   With a little boy heart alive      Kings and castles in the neighborhood   Swords on the forest floor   Dragons in the magic wood   Better saddle your battle horse      Fighting Goliath   Better choose your weapons right   Five little stones and a faith on fire   In a little boy heart alive      Chorus      Met a kid at the railroad track   He had a stick and a nylon sack   I ran to the house to pack   I wanted to follow      Take a ride on the mighty lion   Take a hold of the golden mane   This is the love of Jesus   So good but it is not tame      Chorus      Ever the road goes on and on   Ever the road goes on and on and on
