Lyrics

(Source: as heard)

Oh, it's hard to be a boy when
All the men have lost their joy,
And they can't find the ones they left behind.
Harder still to think of being a man.
In this world, oh, no lessons or love.
It's only war that men be thinking of.
Should you stay or should you come down with me?
Is that the question you're asking of me?
And do you think that you can take the answer as it tells?
You have to wear life well.
Come down with me.
Come down when you need me.
But for now, I want you to be happy.
Sometimes life does things to you
That will hurt you and confuse you,
But when you look behind
You're sure to find
I am with you, though I can't come with you.
I am in you and I'm always part of you.
And all you ever have to do
To bring me to you
Is come down with me.
Come down when you need me.
But for now, I want you to be happy.
So you must go back home;
That's where you belong.
You must go back home.
You must go back home;
That's where you belong.
You must go back home.
And I can't come along.
