[Verse 1]
            
Was a boy who 

              
was a dreamer 

       
and he flew so

 high and prou

d
             
In a world ful

              
l of people ou

     
t to cut his y

oung ass down
            
No one ever un

           
derstood a sin

gle word he sa

id
             
They cast him 

              
to the wolves 

        
when he wasn't

 well and fed


[Bridge]
