lyrics
Intro:
Just a boy asking questions,
Just a boy who wonders why.
Verse 1:
Where have all the rhinos gone?
The black and the white?
Did we hunt them for their horn?
Never gonna make it right
Only one white rhino
When her mother’s gone
Only one white rhino
Will be here all alone.
Chorus
I’m just a boy
Living in the shadow
Of a world
That’s fading all too fast
Her me call
To those of you who should know
Is my future already past?
Verse 2
Soon will all the elephants go
Herds already lost
Why do we need their ivory?
Who will count the cost?
Will they fade into story
That I tell my child?
Once there were elephants
That lived in the wild
Chorus
Middle 8
Just a boy asking questions
Just a boy who will not cry
Just a boy needing answers
Just a boy who’s asking why (repeat)
Chorus
I’m just a boy
Living in the shadow
Of a world that’s fading all too fast
Hear me call
To those of you who should know
I love my world
Please help my world
Don’t make my future be my past.
Verse 2
Soon will all the elephants go
Herds already lost
Why do we need their ivory?
Who will count the cost?
Will they fade into story
That I tell my child?
Once there were elephants
That lived in the wild
Chorus
Middle 8
Just a boy asking questions
Just a boy who will not cry
Just a boy needing answers
Just a boy who’s asking why (repeat)
Chorus
I’m just a boy
Living in the shadow
Of a world that’s fading all too fast
Hear me call
To those of you who should know
I love my world
Please help my world
Don’t make my future be my past.
