lyrics

He was a young poor boy
Walkin’ all alone
The word he most heard was “lose”
How could it be good ?

He had no mother
He had no father too
The only things he knew
Were violence and booze

He was dreaming
He was waiting for a better life
He was hoping somebody would look at him
He was dreaming
He was waiting
But he’d never seen a hand
To help him to become a man
Not a young poor boy

He had no friend at all
Just a poor blind cat
Who helped him when he was crying
He was the only thing he loved

Then he found a gun
And some bullets in a box
Now, nobody in the street
Will ignore him again

He was dreaming
He was waiting for a better life
He was hoping somebody would look at him
He was dreaming
He was waiting
But he’d never seen a hand
To help him to become a man
Not a young poor boy
