Before,

I was once a boy.

I played with LEGO

and built new worlds

I had dreams

I dared to dream

That one day

I'll have a life

A nest I'll build

By the riverbank

And among the fog

I'll be a ghost

I'll catch her breath

Before she goes

I'll hold her hand

Just one more time.

(In my next life

I hope to find

the strength and valor

to be a good lover

among her worlds

to dream that once

I was a boy,

I was a boy)
