Where Is the Boy (Chris' Song)

He opens his eyes to feel the sun

Hopes that no one he knew will see him

Suitcase in hand, the clothes he wore in

Was he finally getting his freedom?

He said "Ma, take me home, I feel so strange

Maybe I need some television

I'm so sick of pills 'cause they dull the thrills

But they give me a reason for livin'"

Please come back, where is the boy?

I know you're still in there hiding

'Cause I recognize the look in your eyes

Saying somebody please find me

Was it drugs? Was it booze? A careless abuse?

Born into a state of sadness

Tossed in the wind in search of a friend

He's everyone's child of madness

Mom says, "Earn a living," Dad says it too

They don't hear their baby screaming, they never had a clue

Someone's always better, someone's always smarter

To them, he's just a junkie without a heart

Please come back, where is the boy?

I know you're still in there hiding

'Cause I recognize the look in your eyes

Saying somebody please find me

Then he takes a smoke and he slowly drags it in

It's the only thing makes him feel good again

And the pots and the pans have stopped hittin' the wall

And this old house is quiet for awhile

And tonight he smiles, even laughs out loud

And his anger fades from view

He's yours, he's mine, another child of the times

And we gotta help him through

Please come back, where is the boy?

I know you're still in there hiding

'Cause I recognize the look in your eyes

Saying somebody please find me
