Boy Inside the Man

There's a boy inside the man
A tiny ancient spark
Didn't buy when it rains
So you're finally going through the dark

He stamps his feet and makes a scene
He's a child alone and rude
But don't just see the way he's mean
Look past the wicked to the wound

There's a boy inside the man
Much smaller than he seems
Life has done the worst it can
Now all he sees is broken dreams

There's a passion burning still
A song he can't control
See the boy inside the man and you will see
The Christmas in his soul

He's the man who's had his fill
But whose joyful lifetime stole
See the boy inside the man and you will see
The Christmas in his soul

Though he may be a millionaire
It's come at far too high a cost
Spent on love that wasn't there
Paid in innocence he's lost

Seek the diamond in the rough
Not the heavy lump of coal
See the boy inside the man and you will see
The Christmas in his soul

This is a man who time forgot
A man of desperate empty spaces
A man with weary broken places
Which can't be whole

Find the boy inside the man and you will find
Christmas in your soul

When you look to see the goodness
Look to see the brightness
You have to trust that broken places
Are made whole

Find the boy inside the man and you will find
Find the boy inside the man and you will feel
The Christmas in your soul
