Story of a Boy
by Matthew Parker

Album: Shadowlands - Bonus Tracks

Verse 1
Oh, he was a country boy
Living in the countryside of the mitten state
He spent his days
Playing cowboys and Indians in the woods
Making forts in the forest
Building snowmen in winter
But soon he realized that life isn't all
Happy-go-lucky, lucky
There's people hurting
People dying and crying
Oh, what does it all mean?
What does it all mean?

Verse 2
Mmm, growing up
He felt the spring coolness
And the summer sunshine
Saw the blowing leaves of autumn
And the snowy blanket of winter
He could not help
But think that only God could make this
Something so beautiful
Something so beautiful
Oh
Something so beautiful

Verse 3
Oh, he was a thinking boy
He wondered why darkness existed in such a bright world
But then one day, he found his answer in Chapter One
The Fall, the Curse
The call of the One who could make all broken things new again

Interlude
Ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, oh
Woah, woah
Woah, woah

Verse 4
He found the meaning
The missing piece to it all
Or should I say that it found him?
Oh, Yahweh, You showed him the truth
Oh, that You are the source of life
The Giver of all good things
The Giver of all good things

Interlude
Oh-woah, oh-woah
Oh-woah, oh-woah
Mmm, woah, woah
Woah, woah

Outro
Oh, he was a country boy
Living in the countryside of the mitten state
He spent his days
Playing cowboys and Indians in the woods
Oh
