Ten years old In a Volkswagen bus A song comes on The Whole World Stops Finding a hero When your life felt lost You swear no one Understands where you are Until you're surrounded by CD towers Loving them more than girls love flowers Mesmerized by plain white rappers And guitars being turned up louder I was a lost boy I was a lost boy I was a lost boy Living under a mask Swear that my heart Was always under Attack Needed someone to save me From going crazy I was a lost boy I was a lost boy I was a lost boy That kid with the Walkman on Cranked up with a hip hop song Fat lip from a fight gone wrong but It went so quick but felt so long All I had was a two bit dream Two tapes and a burnt CD That night when the Lord met me It all changed when I felt your peace Crying out can you still save me Finding out that my chains came free Finding out that your face I seek I receive I got all the grace I need I'm changed and from made clean Your spirit is the air I breathe And it felt right there my me I was a lost boy, but it's you I see I was a lost boy Living under a mask Swear that my heart Was always under Attack Needed someone to save me From going crazy I was a lost boy I was a lost boy Living under a mask Swear that my heart Was always under Attack Needed someone to save me From going crazy I was a lost boy Everybody needs a hero Everybody needs a friend Cause we're all broken Everybody needs a hero Everybody needs a friend Everybody needs someone who can count on them I was a lost boy Living under a mask Swear that my heart Was always under Attack Needed someone to save me From going crazy I was a lost boy 30 years old In my minivan Bumping old songs For my children Hoping they find The hero within Just like when I was a kid
