I think you see me   The way that you'd like see   A man that gets nothing done      Ithink you'd like me to be   As useless as i seem   And leave everything undone      (chorus)   But the little boy I used to be   He had a conscience you could see   And he held it in his hand   He did not understand   That he would soon be me      I think you'd like to know   A place that I won't go   And spend some time      You say you need a friend   To take you by the hand   And sit awhile      (chorus)      If you could only feel this   It's nothing to believe   I ask an honest question   I get a silent scream      When I hear the answer   It's nothing I could see   If someone could have warned you   It takes much more than me      But the little boy I used to be   He had a conscience you could see   And he held it in his hand   He did not understand   That he would soon be free
