Lyrics

I once knew a boy
So afraid of the world
That he would hide his face
And silence his voice
-
All his dreams that were sheltered
And locked up inside
Like a bear in the winter
Sleep kept them alive

[hook]
When your young
How could you know?
The battles done
When you let go

So I watched that boy
Turning into a man
As the worlds shifting waves
Left him taken a back
-
He learned to hide his
With an act and a mask
And what once crippled him
Was now a feasible task

[hook]
When your young
How could you know?
The battles done
When you let go


Oh time heals the wounds
Though the scars they remain
And I see that scared boy
In the mirror each day

[hook]
When your young
How could you know?
The battles done
When you let go
