Now He Knows Better

[Verse 1]
There was a young boy who lived in a school
He didn't feel anything but he lived by the golden rule
Now he knows better, better than we
About the things you find when you haven't learned to see

[Verse 2]
There was a young boy who decided one day
To give up everything and run away
Well, now he knows better, better than we
About the life you live when you choose to be free

[Verse 3]
There was a young boy who said to his father
"Tell me everything you know, and then you needn't bother"
Well, now he knows better, better than we
And he didn't even sacrifice his family

[Verse 4]
There was a young boy who lived all alone
No person had he seen, no one had he known
Well, does he know better, better than we
What it's really like to be lonely?

[Outro]
Well, does he know better, better than we
What it's really like to be lonely?
