Little boy smiling
What is it that makes you that way?
Why are you laughing?
Is happiness part of your day?
Is that joy that I see? Do you feel just like me?
Can you so happy be?
Or are you just like me?

Little boy smiling
Walking in the mist of a cloud
Smiles seem to come easy
Or is it a mask of a clown?
Are you walking alone? Is that smile all your own?
Hiding what no one can see
Or are you crying, crying, crying because you're alone and afraid?

Never looking back, too afraid
Trying to get to nowhere before someone knows your name
Why are you afraid? People ask
No one gets to know you while you play your silly game

Little boy smiling
How can you pretend it today?
How can you keep smiling?
How can you believe what you say?
When you tell me you're real, do you know what you feel?
Are you smiling inside?
Or are you crying, crying, crying because you're alone and afraid?
Yes, you're crying, crying, tears falling down [?]
And you're crying, crying, crying because you're alone and afraid
Cry
