One day the boy decided To let them know the way he felt inside He could not stand to hide it His mother, she broke down and cried Oh, my father Why don't you talk to me now? Oh, my mother Do you still cry yourself to sleep? Are you still proud of your little boy? Don't be afraid (Be afraid) You don't have to hideaway The boy, he was rejected By the people that he cared for It's not what they expected But he could not keep it secret anymore Far from home now Waiting by the telephone There's a new world You can make it on your own Are you still proud of your little boy? Don't be afraid (Be afraid) You don't have to hide away, no Don't be afraid Love will mend your broken wing Time will slip away Learn to be brave Don't be afraid Love will mend your broken wing Time will slip away Learn to be brave Oh, my father Why don't you talk to me now? Oh, my mother Do you still cry yourself to sleep? Are you still proud of your little boy? Don't be afraid (Be afraid) You don't have to hide away, no Don't be afraid Love will mend your broken wing Time will slip away Learn to be brave
