JUST A BOY
Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin
[Rhy. Fig 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2]
Who steers the ship through the stormy sea
If hope is lost then so are we
While some eyes search for one to guide us
Some are staring at me
[Rhy. Fig 3a w/ Rhy. Fig 3b]
[Rhy. Fig 4a w/ Rhy. Fig 4b]
But I'm no hero
Though I wish I could be
[Rhy. Fig 5a w/ Rhy. Fig 5b]
For I am just a boy,
Too young to be sailing
[Rhy. Fig 6a w/ End 1 and Rhy. Fig 6b w/ End 1]
I am just a boy,
And my future is unveiling
And I'm so frightened of failing
[Solo over Rhy. Fig 2]
While some eyes search for one to guide us
Some are staring at me
[Rhy. Fig 3a w/ Rhy. Fig 3b]
[Rhy. Fig 4a w/ Rhy. Fig 4b]
But I'm no hero
Though I wish I could be
[Rhy. Fig 5a w/ Rhy. Fig 5b]
For I am just a boy,
Too young to be sailing
[Rhy. Fig 6a w/ End 2 and Rhy. Fig 6b w/ End 2]
I am just a boy,
And my future is unveiling
And I'm so frightened of failing
