Yes out there is a boy like me
Or a girl it could be
Living in pain and poverty
Not wanting Dad to come home
"Daddy--daddy,leave Mom alone!"
I'll never be a alcohol drug clone
How much is that Doggy in the window?
The one with the big brown eyes
Barney was my constant companion
Kept me company the days the streets I'd roam
Someday I'd be big and strong
Protect Mom from Daddies wrongs
School was not easy for me
Eyes were weak could hardly see
Kids would say an odd boy is he
He reads all day sits in a tree
Somewhere there is a boy like me
