Who climbed onto a bridge
And stood upon the edge of the sky
And I saw his face the next day
And I never knew him but I saw
the ruin of a life just like mine
And he was just another one,
another broken mother's son
Who left without saying goodbye
Another boy who could fly
Who sailed upon the clouds
He left life behind to find
Freedom from the fire in his mind
Cause this world isn't kind
to those who lose their light
Like the boy who could fly
I was a boy just like him,
When I'd arrive with a smile on my face
I'd fight all the violence inside
Then I'd drink until I drowned it all away
It was time to finally tell someone
That I was barely getting by
Another broken mother's son
Another boy who could fly
Who sailed upon the clouds
He left life behind to find
Freedom from the fire in his mind
Cause this world isn't kind
to those who use their light
Like the boy who could fly
