So longso longso longhe's been awaySo longso longso long he's back againI turned seventeenWe had passion we had dreamsThought the love we were fighting forWas something holysomething more.When I turned twenty-onewe were outside on the run.When I walked out with my girlwe went halfway 'round the worldChorus:I dreamed than I saw her standing thererunning for the boy inside the manI was hit hard by a light so bight it burnedAll at once I knew she'd understandunderstandBoy inside the manThe boy inside he man.When I turned tweniy-fivewe were hungry we had driveWhen I turned much older thenWhen the boy was lost in prideNow I just turned thirty-oneI have lost and I have wonStill I've kept my dreams alive'cause this boy will never dieCHORUS I dreamed... AH Do you understandCHORUSThe boy inside the manCHORUS I reamed...So longso longso longyou been awaySo longso longso longyou're back againSister cool this faceas if it's carved in stoneDon't leave m in his placelike a boy wihout a home (repeat)Boy inside the man
