The Boy Who Set Me Free Verse 1 A little boy was laughing, Like the world had gone away, Talking to a friend No one else could see that day. A stick became a sword, A twisted rope a golden key, Every step he took Unlocked another mystery. Verse 2 "I know a hidden cave," I heard the young dreamer say, "There's a secret door Only we can find today." His kingdom had no borders, No walls to hold the sky, Only fearless imagination Teaching dreams to fly. Chorus Who says invisible Means it isn't real? Some hearts build worlds That wiser minds can't feel. For one brief moment I crossed that magic sea... A child believed, And his dream believed in me. Verse 3 I turned to leave him there, Back to ordinary ground, But something held my feet— Not a whisper, not a sound. Fear rushed through my body, Cold as winter rain, I thought my strength had vanished, Never to return again. Bridge Then the little boy looked up To the friend beside his side, And with a gentle smile That only children hide, He softly said, "Please set this prisoner free. He'll slow our journey To the cave only we can see." Final Chorus Suddenly I breathed, The chains were gone at last. The silent spell was broken, Like a shadow from the past. I walked away still smiling, Though wonder followed me... I wasn't watching childhood— Childhood had invited me. Outro Some doors are never opened With iron keys or light. They wait inside a child's heart, Hidden out of sight. And if you're lucky, Just once before you leave, You'll become the story A child chose to believe.
