Jim Proctor Sings (you A Song)

There's a child in me waiting to be born, There's a dream I've had of a long, long road. There's a man who's lived over forty years, There's a heart filled up 'til it's overflowed. (Refrain:) So the time has come, I must listen now, To that trembling voice, Waiting deep inside me. Half a life ago I'd have never dreamed, That the child within was what made me strong. I was fleeing then from a small-town boy, For whom confidence was an elusive song. (Refrain) Have you heard? "Don't be childish; grow up; Be a man!" Well, I am a man, but I'm also a child. "When I was a boy…"; that's what my father said, Though his stories fell on unlistening ears. He was always old, though maybe he could see, I was aging too, far beyond my years. (Refrain)
