A Poor Boy Crying

A poor boy crying at the edge of the wilderness
Orphanned of all his hopes
Everything behind him has broken
Everything in front is strange
And he's crying because he wants
What is found in the wilderness

Hes'  afraid to go
But more afraid he'll say no
He needn't fear but,
For a long time on the journey he will.
He is weaker than everything he will face
But something stronger has captured his heart
He'll go.
