Hey Little Boy

Dedications

Hey little boy, who died yesterday

I’ve got some things I my mind that I need to say

Some people say you left your home

But why in the cold and all alone

Hey little boy, I wonder if you knew

That they’re someone out there just like you

He was riding his bike and was on his way

But he never made it and he’s gone away

They’re searching for him just like you

But at the time they never knew

What may have happened with your time alone

With no jacket, in the freezing cold

Life can be good like a Sunday meal

But then time comes when we have to deal

With the anger that’s buried deep inside

And it runs in circles with no where to hide

Hey little boy, do you understand

Don’t you see what has happened today

You died yesterday and no one knows your name

Only kind words spread from the heart

But they’ve all been there right from the start

Hey little boy, who died yesterday

Now I’ve said all I’ve had to say

Now, little boy, you can see

Why your death troubles me
