What�s a boy supposed to see
When he�s staring in the mirror at 13
Where�s the man that he wants to be
He must be hiding behind the lies that he�s too weak

I was there when they pushed you down
Wiped the blood from your knees when you got up off the ground

No one ever knew you the way I did
They never saw the man you�d be
When they laughed at the awkward kid
No on else believed that you could fly
They couldn�t see the man you�d be
But it�s wonderful to watch you rise
What could make a child a man (help him understand)
When he�s looking at the scars that mar his gentle hands
Where�s the mercy that he needs
It must be hiding behind the pain that they can�t speak
(It must be hiding behind the cut that makes them bleed)

I was there when they pushed you down
Wiped the blood from your knees when you got up off the ground

I was there when they crowned you king
Wiped the blood from your feet when you hung from the tree

No one ever knew you the way I did
They never saw you in the child
As they laughed at his awkwardness
No one else believed that you could fly
They couldn�t see the man you�d be
But it�s wonderful to watch you rise
