Boy Lyrics

It’s time for forgiveness
It’s time for relief
It’s time that we’ve wasted
And it’s time that we need

It’s time for decision
It’s time to be brave
It’s the time of your life
Don’t let it slip away

Boy
You’ll be running but can’t get anywhere
Don’t carry the weight of the world

It’s time that we borrow
And it’s time that we bleed
It’s time that will cure us
You just gotta believe

There’s a warning up ahead
The alarms gone off again
But the sun will fill the sky
Fill the sky

Boy
You’ll be running but can’t get anywhere
Don’t carry the weight of the world
And boy
Help is coming to get you out of here
Don’t carry the weight of the world
The weight of the world
And the weight of the world

Just when you think you’re done
The war can never be won
I’ll be there to pick you up
And dust you off
And bring you home
And make you feel loved

Don’t carry the weight of the world

And boy
You’ll be running but can’t get anywhere
Don’t carry the weight of the world
And boy
Help is coming
I’ll get you out of here
Don’t carry the weight of the world

Weight of the world
And the weight of the world
The weight of the world
And the weight of the world

And tonight is a fireball
And tonight you’re not alone
And tonight we start again
Tonight the best is yet to come

Reviews and whatnot have said that this is the best song on the album. I can't wait till the CD comes out and I can hear the song.

I think Angels Losing Sleep is the best song on the album, but okay.

I think this song's basically about the world needing to work together to help fix it. Yes, it needs fixing. Lots of fixing.

Agree with bradbomb. I think Where Are You and Love and Trust are the best songs SO FAR.Haha.

I think this song is just to not take things into your own hands. You know boys,teenagers especially. Boys-when they have problems they tend to keep it to themselves,so maybe the song is about telling a teenage boy not to hide his troubles or keep away his dark secrets.

Like I said, it's like telling individuals that instead of trying to work AS individuals, toward the goal of saving the planet before we blow it up, to work together as a whole and unite all efforts.

I took a more simple and obvious approach to this one. I think it's basically a song written for his son. Mostly from this line,

Just when you think you’re done The war can never be won I’ll be there to pick you up And dust you off And bring you home And make you feel loved

Basically just a heads up for him like "Yea, the world sucks...be careful."

This song reminds me of U2 a bit. really good tho. I think its saying that the world has so much crap but you cant blame yourself or carry the weight of it all on you sholders... the idea that is written for his son is really interesting...

Don't carry the weight of the world. Ooh. That really shows a hell lot of love to his son. Just hear the bridge. =)

This is a song about fatherhood. Raine recently became a father of two boys, and i think "boy" was a song written for them. "boy" is a beautiful song off of HIPT. This song serves as a form of comfort, but also as a warning. Raine warns his boys that life can be mean, brutal, and exhausting, however he also attempts to comfort them by saying that he will always be there for them no matter what happens- "Ill be there to pick you up and dust you off and make you feel loved" I love this song, it's absolutely beautiful song about unconditional love.
