Lyrics Boy - Stereo MC's feat. Jamie Cullum

When I was a boy I didn't understand
Why encouragement was kind of hard to combine,
To make a dream come true
Sometimes you gotta fight,
I had to push myself to make a better life!
When the days were long, with nothing much to do,
Should I tell myself that nothing could improve?
No, I had to try, and give myself a hand,
I didn't know, the love was in my hands!
When I was a boy
It's just a matter of time
When I was a boy
It's just a matter of time
And now that I'm a man, my tools are in the van,
I wanna see the game on Sundays,
And maybe check a friend!
Don't think about regrets, although I had a few,
Falling in, falling out, dreams are falling through!
You see me going, get alone,
When the nights are so long,
I think about the days that were gone when I was young!
When I was a boy,
I think about the days that were gone when I was young!
When I was a boy,
It's just a matter of time
