"When I Was Just A Boy"
When I was just a boy, my mother would tell me
This life is but a blink of God's eye
When I became a man, my father had taught me
Live fast and you're sure to die young
And oh my son, don't say I didn't warn you
Never build your house on a sandy foundation
Guard your heart
Don't build walls around it
Never live your life without love and patience
Find your way on board before your train leaves the station
And now that I am grown
The seeds that were sown
Live deep in the heart of this man
And when, if God allows, a child of my own
I'll share what my parents said
Oh my son, don't say I didn't warn you
Never build your house on a sandy foundation
Guard your heart
Don't build walls around it
Never live your life without love and patience
Find your way on board before your train leaves the station
Oh my son, don't say I didn't warn you
Never build your house on a sandy foundation
Guard your heart
Don't build walls around it
Never live your life without love and patience
Find your way on board before your train leaves the station
Out of breath from the woods
I'd come running fast to be home when the street lights came on
And a branch brushed my cheek
It didn't cut deep
But the sting made me feel so alive

"When I Was Just A Boy"
When I was just a boy, my mother would tell me
This life is but a blink of God's eye
When I became a man, my father had taught me
Live fast and you're sure to die young
And oh my son, don't say I didn't warn you
Never build your house on a sandy foundation
Guard your heart
Don't build walls around it
Never live your life without love and patience
Find your way on board before your train leaves the station
And now that I am grown
The seeds that were sown
Live deep in the heart of this man
And when, if God allows, a child of my own
I'll share what my parents said
Oh my son, don't say I didn't warn you
Never build your house on a sandy foundation
Guard your heart
Don't build walls around it
Never live your life without love and patience
Find your way on board before your train leaves the station
Oh my son, don't say I didn't warn you
Never build your house on a sandy foundation
Guard your heart
Don't build walls around it
Never live your life without love and patience
Find your way on board before your train leaves the station
Out of breath from the woods
I'd come running fast to be home when the street lights came on
And a branch brushed my cheek
It didn't cut deep
But the sting made me feel so alive
When I was just a boy, my mother would tell me
This life is but a blink of God's eye
When I became a man, my father had taught me
Live fast and you're sure to die young
And oh my son, don't say I didn't warn you
Never build your house on a sandy foundation
Guard your heart
Don't build walls around it
Never live your life without love and patience
Find your way on board before your train leaves the station
And now that I am grown
The seeds that were sown
Live deep in the heart of this man
And when, if God allows, a child of my own
I'll share what my parents said
Oh my son, don't say I didn't warn you
Never build your house on a sandy foundation
Guard your heart
Don't build walls around it
Never live your life without love and patience
Find your way on board before your train leaves the station
Oh my son, don't say I didn't warn you
Never build your house on a sandy foundation
Guard your heart
Don't build walls around it
Never live your life without love and patience
Find your way on board before your train leaves the station
Out of breath from the woods
I'd come running fast to be home when the street lights came on
And a branch brushed my cheek
It didn't cut deep
But the sting made me feel so alive
