I was just a shy boy from the other side of town You were sent from up above to make me turn around Will I need a miracle to make me look my way? Or take the loneliness of living one more day I need you, I feel you Calling through my heart I wait for the line to break So I can hold you in my arms But I can't touch you And break through to the other side Don't even know I'm alive Every night I say a prayer For those of us who care That it's all been a bad dream We've got years and years of time (I can hear them now) I was just a shy boy (I can hear them now) I can hear the angels crying (I can hear them now) As they tell the story With tears in their eyes (I can hear them now) I was just a shy boy (I can hear them now) I can hear the angels crying (I can hear them now) As they tell the story With tears in their eyes But I can't touch you And break through to the other side Don't even know I'm alive (I can hear them now) I was just a shy boy (I can hear them now) I can hear the angels crying (I can hear them now) As they tell the story With tears in their eyes (I can hear them now) I was just a shy boy (I can hear them now) I can hear the angels crying (I can hear them now) As they tell the story With tears in their eyes I can't touch you Can't break through to the other side Don't even know I'm alive Don't even know I'm alive
