lyrics

You were a wonder boy
The one they said would take over the world
You were the one that everyone expected
So much of

It wasn’t so much that your flame burned out
But they kept pouring water on your dreams
The fire in your eyes was always ablaze
Even though they couldn’t see
Though they couldn’t see

Everyone admitted that you didn’t it best
But they wanted no part of you
Is it because you were temperamental
Or because they feared what you might do

It wasn’t so much that your flame burned out
But they kept pouring water on your dreams
The fire in your eyes was always ablaze
Even though they couldn’t see
Though they couldn’t see

I saw you when you were older
You looked different than before
Everyone said you lost your marbles
But no one was sure anymore

It wasn’t so much that your flame burned out
But they kept pouring water on your dreams
The fire in your eyes was always ablaze
Even though they couldn’t see
Though they couldn’t see
You still had the passion
And you still had the joy
Even in an old man’s beard
You were the same wonder boy
