A boy starts out his life wounderous and true,
never quite understanding how a man can get so blue.
Soon will his prides turn to shame,
within a search for his lost flame.
Weeks will turn to the months that make the years,
and soon all his failures became his many fears.
Who was this wonderous boy with no shame,
but a lonely hermit of the man who's sadly lost his way.
