Lost boy runnin' in a hurricane.
It burns like fire
and it smells like rain again.
He lies awake wonderin'
in the dead of night;
Can't they see
that somethin' just ain't right

Do they see the tears
flowin' deep behind steel eyes,
or hear his silent cries;
his silent cries?

Do they know what it's like
to hide the pain
of ice flowin' through your veins;
when do or die is all the same?

Do they know how it feels
to live your life
never knowing why
you still stand up and fight?

Lost boy lookin
at his empty soul.
He prayed for heaven
but he still feels like hell.
Lost boy wonderin'
why his heart's so cold.
Is there any mercy
for the wounded soul?

Did they see his heart
breaking when he realized
that he couldn't fly;
he couldn't fly.

Do they know what it's like
to hide the pain
of ice flowin through your veins;
when do or die is all the same?

Do they know what it's like
to play a cruel game;
still caught in a hurricane
with no one left to take the blame?
Still lost in a hurricane.

I kept wondering why that frisbee kept getting bigger and bigger....and then it hit me.

Zaac, I found myself singing the lyrics to a soulful melody in my head.

May the 'lost boy' find his inner strength and be able to withstand all of life's hurricanes.

A moving read.
