The Boy by the Door

A photo can tell a thousand words, it can also write a song... "The Boy By The Door" From the Songtelling series. Lyrics: He’s a small silhouette… on a cold stone floor Curled up tight… by an old wood door Sunlight cuts… through the jagged line Shadows on his back… like a warning sign Holding something close… in trembling hands A secret he can barely understand The world feels heavy… pressing down so hard A little boy lost… in the backyard But the wind keeps whisperin’ his name And the light… keeps fightin’ through the grain Oh, the boy by the door… in the blinding light Tryin’ so damn hard… just to hold on tight Yeah, the shadows fall… but they don’t own him He’s a spark in the dark… and it’s glowin’ Oh, the boy in the shadows… He’s breakin’ through… He’s breakin’ through White shoes shining… in dust and sun A memory of days… when he used to run Now he kneels low… head bowed down Prayin’ for a voice… to make a sound Every heartbeat… echoes on the wooden wall A drum that’s waitin’… for the call He’s scared… he’s quiet, but there’s fire there A little flame… fightin’ through the air Yeah, the wind keeps whisperin’ his name And the light… keeps breakin’ through the pain Oh, the boy by the door… in the blinding light Tryin’ so damn hard… just to hold on tight Yeah, the shadows fall… but they don’t own him He’s a spark in the dark… and it’s glowin’ Oh, the boy in the shadows… He’s breakin’ through… He’s breakin’ through Maybe hope… is just a breath away A single step… from the place he lay Oh, he’s been down… but he ain’t done There’s a rising heartbeat… in the sun Oh, the boy by the door… where the shadows lie Feels the warmth… of a world that won’t pass him by Yeah, the shadows fall… but they can’t hold him He’s a spark in the dark… and it’s growin’ Oh, the boy in the shadows… He’s standin’ tall… He’s standin’ tall… He’s breakin’ through --- subtitles via YouTube captions.
