Lost Boy

Among the shadows where the silence breathes,  
A lost boy walks, torn like autumn leaves  
With haunted eyes, echoes of pain  
Looking for shelter down the pouring rain  
 
Once a dreamer in a world so vile,  
Now, a wanderer with nowhere to hide  
He's endured the harm of many hearts unkind,  
Yet his spirit wishes for a chance to rise  
 
Through nights of darkness, inhaling your fear,  
Crystal ghosts haunt you; I feel you near  
Each scar a story, each tear a song,  
In a world that feels so painfully wrong  
 
Stolen innocence is the price he pays,  
In a world that left him cold and gray  
Battling demons, the shadows creep,  
But the light within is yours to keep  
 
Listen, my lost boy, there’s a path to heal,  
With gentle hands, the pain will dim  
I’ll help you fight the storms that rage,  
Write a new chapter, turn a new page
 
Through the unknown whispers, distorting what's real,
I'll keep you safe under my wing
The voices may scream, but I am still here
Together, we'll quiet each echo unclear  
 
Hang on, lost boy, you’re not alone  
I’m here to hear you sing your songs  
With strength and patience, we’ll face the fight,  
Together we’ll get you a brand new start  
 
The road is long, the journey’s tough,  
But I’ll be your shelter when things get rough  
With open arms and a heart so true  
In every moment I’ll stand by you  
 
So take my hand, let’s walk this way,  
With hope as our guide, we’ll find a new day  
To lift you up, to show you I care,  
For the lost boy I found, I'll always be there.
