The Lost Boy

	  		


         G 
   I left my home still as a child  
              G 
   I walked a thousand soary miles 
                  C/G                      G 
   To wait for my father, to gather up his truth 


              G 
   He said my boy you've got to run  
                  G 
   Don’t wait for me, don’t wait for mum  
              C/G                               G 
   We’ll come get you, when it’s safe for us to move 


        C/G 
   So I waited many years,  
                 Em 
   held back the pain behind my tears 
          C/G                             G 
   For my father, to come find me like he said 

  
               C/G 
   And in that time I was alone,  
           Em         
   so many years without my home 
          C/G                            G 
   I made brothers of a different kind instead 


   Instrumental break: G    C/G   G   


              G 
   And in the time I didn't know, 
            G 
   just how hard the wind could blow 
             C/G                                 G 
   Towards disaster, and the things that I would see 


     G 
   I never found my father, 
     G 
   I never found my mother 
                C/G                        G 
   Even would I know in my lifetime I will be 


     C/G 
   A hero into the masses, 
            Em 
   to those born without chances 
             C/G                     G                 
   There’s a freedom that everyone deserves 


                  C/G 
   I know there’s greed and there’s corruption 
             Em  
   I’ve seen death and mass destruction 
           C/G                              G 
   But I’m telling you, and I hope that I'm heard 


              G 
   And I will not be commanded, 
              C/G 
   And I will not be controlled 
              Em                   C/G 
   And I will not let my future go on,  
                          G 
   without the help of my soul 


              G 
   And I will not be commanded, 
              C/G 
   And I will not be controlled 
              Em                   C/G 
   And I will not let my future go on,  
                          G 
   without the help of my soul 



              G 
   And I will not be commanded, 
              C/G 
   And I will not be controlled 
              Em                   C/G 
   And I will not let my future go on,  
                          G 
   without the help of my soul 



          G 
   I will not be commanded, 
          C/G 
   I will not be controlled 
              Em                   C/G 
   And I will not let my future go on,  
                          G 
   without the help of my soul
