Generations from Exile Tribe - Boy (English Version)

After all I’ve been through
I’m still here to stay
Time goes by
Time goes by

Don’t you know that I’ve been doing this
Without even turning back
I’m making my way, breaking away from the crowd

And these streets are still the same
And I feel a little suffocated
Anywhere I look, anywhere I go
Everything seems crazy

I let go of my youth so that I could
Chase the dreams that I dreamed as a young boy
Holding onto every chance I got
Now it’s been ten years since back then

With all my dreams and hopes I had
I held my head up high and never looked down

If I could somehow get a chance to
See the boy that I used to be
I’d tell him not to cry
That he’d never lose his way again
That he’d get to the place where he’d longed to be
It don’t matter near or far
If you don’t give in, you’ll make it there

After all I’ve been through
I’m still here to stay
Time goes by
And I will never stop

And it killed me to know that I had
Nothing to be proud of
But I didn’t stop, no I never stopped what I started

As the days got much tougher and harder
The nights got much longer and colder
I would sing a song of tomorrow
When I had to hide my sorrow

Just keep the faith when you feel helpless
Just follow your own path, things aren’t so hopeless

If I could somehow get a chance to
See the boy that I used to be
I’d tell him not to cry
That he’d never lose his way again
So you meet someone and then you say goodbye
That’s what life’s about
In the midst of it all, you take another step

Don’t forget (don’t forget to be there)
As the new era begins, the world will change no matter what
That’s the way the world’s supposed to be
Every time I try to look back on the past
Oh how I miss the good old days

If he could see me now
The boy that I used to be
What would he think of me
What would he say about my life

If I could somehow get a chance to
See the boy that I used to be
I’d tell him not to cry
That he’d never lose his way again
That he’d get to the place where he’d longed to be
It don’t matter near or far
If you don’t give in, you’ll make it there

After all I’ve been through
I’m still here to stay
Time goes by
Time goes by

After all I’ve been through
I’m still here to stay
Times goes by
And I will never stop
