With Israel’s Song, the narrator gives the image of a boy who has escaped the cycle of negative thoughts within is mind. He has taken a positive view point on life, but the narrator leaves us with a question. Will the world prove his viewpoint wrong?
[Verse]
A boy becomes normal today
Finally breaks away
Into freshness and understanding
He pushed the world he knew
Will the world break him back?
Will someone snap him in half?
And build back the glass
Or is it just the boy now?
