Hideaway

One day the boy decided

To let them know the way he felt inside

He could not stand to hide it

His mother, she broke down and cried



Oh, my father, why don't you talk to me now (talk to me now)

Oh, my mother, so you still cry yourself to sleep

Are you still proud of your little boy



Don't be afraid (be afraid), you don't have to hide away



The boy he was rejected by the people that he cared for

It's not what they expected

But he could not keep it secret anymore



Far from home now, waiting by the telephone

There's a new world, you can make it on your own

Are you still proud of your little boy



Don't be afraid (be afraid), you don't have to hide away, no



Don't be afraid, love will mend your broken wing

Time'll slip away, learn to be brave

Don't be afraid, love will mend your broken wing

Time'll slip away, learn to be brave



Oh, my father, why don't you talk to me now (talk to me now)

Oh, my mother, so you still cry yourself to sleep

Are you still proud of your little boy



Don't be afraid (be afraid), you don't have to hide away, no



Don't be afraid, love will mend your broken wing

Time'll slip away, learn to be brave
