young boy, you will grow…

young boy, you will grow, they will tell you to be strong, they will tell you to be tough

young boy
you will grow
they will tell you to be strong
they will teach you to be tough
i hope someone tells you to feel
i hope they teach you to be love
young man
grown man
let yourself be love
