Once upon a time there was a boy
He was a friend of mine
He was only sixteen
On the day that he died
Through no fault of his own
Through no fault of his own
Neglected
He should have been told somebody cares, somebody knows
Still the pain grows
Still the pain grows
Still the same show
Wind of change blow
This way
I’m know a girl
She’s been hospitalised
She didn’t see him coming
Now she’s been blinded
Was it his fault
That he had no money of his own
You can blame it on his family, yeah
The boy you never know
Make it light
Let it be
Still the pain grows (The children have a chance of more time)
Still the pain grows (Sue them ’til the doctor’s fired)
Still the same show (Get him, a police victim, a doctor)
Wind of change blow this way
I know a boy
He laid dying in my arms
He said “I don’t wanna die
No, this is not my time
I don’t wanna go
But only God knows”
I cried
Still the pain grows (The children have a chance of more time)
Still the pain grows (Sue them ’til the doctor’s fired)
Still the same show (Get him, a police victim, a doctor)
Wind of change blow me away
Blow this way
Blow this way
Still the pain grows (The children have a chance of more time)
Still the pain grows (Sue them ’til the doctor’s fired)
Still the same show (Get him, a police victim, a doctor)
Make it light
Let it be
Still the pain grows (The children have a chance of more time)
Still the pain grows (Sue them ’til the doctor’s fired)
Still the same show (Get him, a police victim, a doctor)
Still this pain
