Boy Blue
[Opening Fanfare]

[Intro]
We're all in the dream
The dream of life

[Verse 1]
Hey, Boy Blue, can't you hear all the noise?
It's for you, all the town's waiting there
Let us go, there's a show like you ain't seen before

[Verse 2]
Welcome home, where you been all these years?
Look around, all the crowd is in tears
It's so good to see you in the streets of your town

[Chorus]
Hey, Boy Blue is back
Hey, Boy Blue is back
Hey, Boy Blue is back

[Bridge]
(Oh, let's tread a little, now)
(Keep away, now)
(Whoa-whoa, ooh)
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Hey, Boy Blue is back
Hey, Boy Blue is back
Hey, Boy Blue is back

[Verse 3]
I've seen bold knights dropping down like flies
I've seen kings rolling in the mire
I've seen God point the finger of doom to our foes

[Verse 4]
I have fought in the holiest wars
I have smashed some of the holiest jaws
I've been jailed, been impaled
And been dragged through the world

[Verse 5]
One thing I have learned through these years
Is that no man should be stricken with fear
It should be that he walks with no care in the world

[Verse 6]
So my friends, who are gathered today
Hear this clear, for I'll not further say
That no man shall cause me to take up arms again
[Chorus/Outro]
Hey, Boy Blue is back
Hey, Boy Blue is back
Hey, Boy Blue is back
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Hey, Boy Blue is back
Hey, Boy Blue is back
Hey, Boy Blue is back
Whoa-oh-oh
