In the sun he hides from you 'Cause you smile and then tell him lies But the boy, he always knew That they'd choke upon his pride ♪ As their greed, it eats the sand
Turns to stone all that lives All he builds is made by hand And the love he always gives ♪ When they look into his eyes Why can't they let him be? And he knows they're not that blind They just choose not to see
Only knows what's in his heart So he never speaks his mind Says his prayers and tries so hard And the Lord says give it time
When they look into his eyes Why can't they let him be? And he knows they're not that blind
