The Lost Boy - Ben Clark

I left my home still as a child

I walked a thousand solid miles

To wait for my father

To gather up his tools

He said my boy, you better run

Don't wait for me, don't wait for mum

I'll come get you when its safe for us to move

But i waited many years, held back the pain behind my tears

For my father to come find me like he said

And at that time, i was alone

So many years without my home

And i made brothers of a different kind instead

And I will not be commanded,

And I will not be controlled

And i will not let my future go on

Without the help of my soul

And at that time i didn't know

Just how hard the wind could blow

Towards disaster,

And the things that i can't see

I never found my father

I never found my mother

Even when I know in my lifetime I will be

A hero to the masses,

To those born without chances

There's a freedom that everyone deserves

And i know there's greed and there's corruption

I've seen death and mass destruction

But i'm telling you, and i hope

That i am heard

And i will not be commanded,

And i will not be controlled

I will not let my future go on

Without the help of my soul.

And i will not be commanded,

And i will not be controlled

And i will not let my future go on

Without the help of my soul

A hero, to the masses,

To those born without chances

There's a freedom that everyone deserves

I know there's greed and there's corruption

I've seen death and mass destruction

But i'm telling you, and i hope

That i am heard

I will not be commanded,

And i will not be controlled.

I will not let my future go on

Without the help of my soul
