lyrics

When I was just a boy, I saw you taking coffee to an undertaker
I remember the dew on the grass
My toys lay in the lawn
Fireants would bite my feet
The graveyard would call to me, right next to where I played
It told me we all go away, when I was just a boy

Well, nothing's waiting for you.

I remember wanting to quit, for any 8 year old the dojo was a hard place
Then he sat me down, and told me he saw a fire in my eyes
It changed my fate. I remember the Saturday he gave up.
They found him hanging, and then he went away.
When I was just a boy.

We've all got a story, and I want you to know
It's okay and you still love if you just let go.

Listen, if you would just let go you could still have hope.

When I was a boy, I saw you giving money to a preacher
He does nothing but bury you, find another way to make your peace with the ones who go away.
