He's a big thinking boy
With a home loving heart
With convictions that know
No end to their start
He put himself through some trouble
Himself through some pain
He fell in love with a good girl
Who wouldn't learn his name
Well she turned up missing
One night in the fall
And he went out searching
Found nothing at all
But a notebook and suitcase
A torn page that read
Don't fear that which you don't understand
We gotta do what we gotta do
What we gotta do to get ahead
He's not just a God Fearing Boy
He's scared of so much more than that
It's sad when such a brilliant boy
Will let his fears hold him back
