My, my how things have changed since I have been away
It’s the first time but it’s different, I’m afraid
Where’s the boy so happy to be near it all?
He’s lost in the travels
A little part of me so small
Cry for me
Cry for him
Cry for the answer
Cry because it’s done
Cry for the feeling
Cry for the youth
All for the prize
Through different eyes
The promise that you have made forgets
See it as you may
Deny it while you can
Search for the reasons
As you beg to understand
Cry for me
Cry for him
Cry for the answer
Cry because it’s done
Cry for the feeling
Cry for the youth
All for the prize
Come and go
Don’t get pulled into the light
Come and go
Wouldn’t believe it if you tried
Come and go
It’s as useless as it was
You can go
The end we know
I wont tell you anything
So far away you are to me
Cry for me
Cry for him
Cry for the answer
Cry because it’s done
Cry for the feeling
Cry for the youth
All for the prize (2x)
My, my I swear it’s been a lifetime since i have been away
It’s the last time but somehow it’s all the same
Where’s the boy?

Where’s the boy?
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
hmm. .what's this song about? is it about him grown up and then remembering when he was a boy and reflecting. .and missing it and saying where is the boy he was? or a grown up kind of giving a young boy advice saying. .enjoy it while your young? i don't really know. .someone else?
It's about being awed by realization of change.
I'm trying to figure out what the prize is. And I can't tell if they say "Or for the prize" or "All for the prize". Is the prize reaching adulthood, then? If so, it's probably "all" like it says on these lyrics.
Pardon the rambling. Don't mind me...
