[00:00.00] 作曲 : Gilbert, Leonard
[00:34.50]Mother's crazy, but she runs the family
[00:38.82]Two older sisters, and the boy who's nine years old
[00:43.56]He's old enough to see the way it's going
[00:47.94]Somewhere the birds are singing
[00:50.82]But Mother's all alone
[01:01.41]He needs a father, but she takes a lover
[01:05.91]This man is not a friend, shows no friendship
[01:10.50]This man just waits around to play with Sister
[01:14.94]But he plays too serious, he plays too rough
[01:19.29]How can you expect a child to understand the sickness of a world whose eyes are blind?
[01:26.76]The dying man inside this boy is questioning his once upon a time
[01:30.78](There was a little boy)
[01:42.12]He leaves home early for a loveless world
[01:46.59]And he finds what he needs with an older boy
[01:51.21]He's got a couple things to hide from Mother
[01:55.77]He hopes she'll understand, she hopes he'll change
[02:00.00]How can you expect a child to understand the sickness of a world whose eyes are blind?
[02:04.62]A world he cannot hope to conquer, insecurities that fester in his mind
[02:13.32]No choice, no fault, and no way out, no blame, no guilt, no friends, no cure, no crime
[02:20.82]The dying man inside this boy is questioning his once upon a time
[02:49.89](There was a little boy)
[02:56.70]This boy was once a strong man, but getting weaker
[03:01.38]He carries more than just the shame inside
[03:05.82]His mother stays away and faces nothing
[03:10.29]She blindly wishes for a happy ending
[03:14.61]How can you expect a child to understand the sickness of a world whose eyes are blind?
[03:19.29]A world he cannot hope to conquer, insecurities that fester in his mind
[03:27.87]No choice, no fault, and no way out, no blame, no guilt, no friends, no cure, no crime
