The Lost Boy



I found my self alone, I keep wondering about the way to reality.
It's just a trail with no end, which the rail tracks seem to have disappeared.
I asked myself, Where is it leading to?
I feel weird and curious when the dark come along.

Now I have only the man in the Moon
And even sometimes, He would go away,
I feel the homesickness in me, which I had it in a big pain
Nowhere to go, no place to call home.

I closed my eyes, I shouted God help me
The night is so long, but soon it will be dawn,
But I believe the bad days shall overcome.
The sun shine bright, but the destination still betraying.

I spend the whole night and day, being a lost boy.
I heard a whisper into ears, it says to me,
run to this side, since you called me in your sorrow.
I found the way back home, through the whisper in my ears.
