One day the boy decided 
                             D# 
To let them know the way he felt inside 
    Bb 
He could not stand to hide it 
                      D# 
His mother she broke down and cried 
        F 
Oh my father 
             Bb          D# 
Why don't you talk to me now 
       F     Dm 
Oh my mother 
              Bb                F 
Do you still cry yourself to sleep 
                Bb                  F 
Are you still proud of your little boy 
D#           F   D# 
Don't be afraid 
                         Bb 
You don't have to hide away 
 
Bb 
The boy he was rejected 
                       D# 
By the people that he cared for 
     Bb 
It's not what they expected 
                          D# 
But he could not keep it secret anymore 
          F 
Far from home now 
Bb                  D# 
Waiting by the telephone 
             F      Dm 
There's a new world 
         Bb              F 
You can make it on your own 
                Bb                  F 
Are you still proud of your little boy 
D#               F  D# 
Don't be afraid 
                        Bb   (F#) 
You don't have to hide away 
 
Bb          D#m 
Don't be afraid 
D#                   Bb 
Love will mend your broken wing 
Bb              D#m 
Time will slip away 
D#            Bb 
Learn to be brave

       F     Dm 
Oh my mother 
              Bb                F 
Do you still cry yourself to sleep 
                Bb                  F 
Are you still proud of your little boy 
D#           F   D# 
Don't be afraid 
                         Bb 
You don't have to hide away 
F# 
No 
 
Bb          D#m 
Don't be afraid
