lyrics
Solo: Beautiful boy, sing your beautiful song, always looking ahead, with your back so long. With an open heart and a sprit strong, what can break you when you’re where you belong?
Where you belong, in a place of love and grace,
May no hand in hate come to erase
Where you belong in a place of peace and truth
May only love nourish your roots.
Beautiful boy, sing your beautiful song
always looking ahead with your back so long
with an open heart and a spirit strong
Nothing can break you
(A solo: if you live your truth your song)
Where you belong in a place set apart,
May no chains of hate try an’ shackle your heart,
Where you belong in a place still yet to come,
Make something new under the sun.
Beautiful boy, sing your beautiful song
always looking ahead with your back so long
with an open heart and a spirit strong
Nothing can break you
(A solo: if you live your truth your song)
Nothing can break you, beautiful boy.
