lyrics

Boy alone

I was born boy alone
being good, and fearing others
I was born boy alone
but I found a band of brothers
I grew up a lonely wolf
till I found all the others
I was born boy alone
but I found a band of brothers

And now that I’m at peace
my lonely hours light up, like a flame
And now that we’re at peace
we’ll share this flame with our sons
and our fathers

And now I’ll go out into life
being me and freeing others
Yes I will, if I can
help tired brothers out of their darkness

And now that I’m at peace
my lonely hours light up, like a flame
And now that we’re at peace
we’ll share this flame with our sons
and our fathers

I was born boy alone
but I found a band of brothers
