I am a courageous boy who’s now dead

i wonder if I’ll make it in the world

i hear the trees calling my name

i see them welcoming me home

i want to live a peaceful life

I am a courageous boy who’s now dead

i pretend I rule the world

i feel the wind blowing against me

i touch the soft grass beneath me

i wonder if my dad will spank me

i cry for I am not the person I want to be 

I am a courageous boy who’s now dead

i understand my father wants the best for me

i say I can’t be what he want me to be

i dream to live life deliberately 

i try to suck out all the marrow of life 

I hope to put to rout all that was not life 

I am a courageous buy who’s now dead
