I remember not too long ago Batting base balls, boxin' with my shadow Climbin' trees, climbin' walls Yearned to be six feet tall
If I knew then what I know now I would've been content to play And not to rush my hand to take the plough
Oh Jesu-u-us, bring back the boy in me Put your hand on my hear-eart And let me run free Woh-oh-woh Jesu-u-us, my eyes need help to see And I want to be the boy in me-ee-yeah
I remember it like yesterday I realise my childhood slipped away Chasin' plans, chasin' dreams Silhouettes of what I jused to be
And I know now what I knew then Not living in the past But I wish I could go back again
Oh Jesu-u-us, bring back the boy in me (bring back the boy in me) Put your hand on my hear-eart And let me run free Woh-oh-woh Jesu-u-us (bring back the boy in me) My eyes need help to see (bring back the boy in me) And I want to be the boy in me
Oh Jesu-u-us, bring back the boy in me (bring back the boy in me) Put your hand on my hear-eart And let me run free Woh-oh-woh Jesus (bring back the boy in me) My eyes need help to see (bring back the boy in me) And I want to be the boy in me (bring back the boy in me) The boy in me (bring back the boy in me) (Bring back the boy in me) (Bring back the boy in me) (Bring back the boy in me) (Bring back the boy in me) (Bring back the boy in me) (fade)
