When I turned seventeen
We had passion, we had dreams
Thought the love we were fighting for
Was something holy, something more
When I turned twenty-one
We were outside on the run
When I walked out with my girl
We went halfway around the world
I dreamed that I saw her standing there
They were running for the boy inside the man
I was hit hard by the light so bright it burned
All at once I knew she'd understand
Boy inside the man
The boy inside the man
When I turned twenty-five
We were hungry, we had drive
When I turned much older then
Cause the boy was lost in pride
Now I just turned thirty-one
I have lost and I have won
Still I've kept my dreams alive
Cause the boy will never die
I dreamed that I saw her standing there
They were running for the boy inside the man
I was hit hard by the light so bright it burned
All at once I knew she'd understand
Boy inside the man
The boy inside the man
I dreamed that I saw her standing there
They were running for the boy inside the man
And I was hit hard by the light so bright it burned
All at once I knew she'd understand
Boy inside the man
The boy inside the man
Boy inside the man
The boy inside the man
