Oh, it's hard to be a boy When all the men have lost their joy And they can't find the ones they left behind Harder still to think of being a man In this world of no lessons or love It's only war that men be thinking of Should you stay or should you come down with me? Is that the question you're asking of me? And do you think that you can take the answer as it tells You have to wear life well? Come down with me Come when you need me But for now I want you to be happy Sometimes life does things to you That will hurt you and confuse you But when you look behind you're sure to find I am with you though I can't come with you I am in you and I'm always part of you And all you ever have to do to bring me to you is Come down with me Come when you need me But for now I want you to be happy So you must go back home That's where you belong You must go back home You must go back home That's where you belong You must go back home And I can't come along
