Where Is the Boy? Songtext
von Kim Carnes

He opens his eyes to feel the sun
Hopes that no-one he knew will see him
Suitcase in hand, the clothes he wore in
Was he was finally getting his freedom?

He said "Ma, take me home
I feel so strange
Maybe I need some television
I′m so sick of pills
'Cause they dull the thrills
But they give me a reason for livin′"

Please come back
Where is the boy?
I know you're still in there hiding
'Cause I recognize the look in your eyes
Sayin′ somebody please find me


Was it drugs?
Was it booze?
A careless abuse?
Born into a state of sadness
Tossed in the wind
In search of a friend
He′s everyone's child of madness

Mom says "Earn a livin′"
Dad says it too
They don't hear their baby screamin′
They never had a clue
Someone's always better
Someone′s always smarter
To them he's just a junkie without a heart

Please come back
Where is the boy?
I know you're still in there hiding
′Cause I recognize the look in your eyes
Sayin′ somebody please find me
Somebody please find me


Then he takes a smoke
And he slowly drags it in
It's the only thing makes him feel good again
And the pots and the pans
Have stopped hittin′ the wall
And this ol' house is quiet
For awhile

And tonight he smiles
Even laughs out loud
And his anger fades from view
He′s yours
He's mine
Another child of the times
We gotta help him through

Oh, please come back
Where is the boy?
I know you′re still in there hiding
'Cause I recognize the look in your eyes
Sayin' somebody please find me
Somebody please find me
Oh, somebody please find me
