Faded Blue Jeans

 

I met a boy wearing faded blue jeans

Who everyone thought, lived with kings and queens

But he spent his days living in his dreams

'Cause everything isn't always as it seems

 

Looking in from the outside it seemed his life was grand

Looking out from the inside he knew everything was out of hand

'Cause everything's not always as it seems and what we see is what we know

But what we know is all we see, and what we see we can't always believe ...

 

I met a boy wearing faded blue jeans

Who should've been living with kings and queens

But he spent his days living in his dreams

'Cause everything isn't always as it seems

 

He wore a smile and glanced at the ground

Always torn between being alone and being found

'Cause people scared him and the dark made him cry

So he didn't know where to go, whether low or high

 

Yes, I met a boy wearing faded blue jeans

Who was born to dance with kings and queens

But he had to live inside his dreams

'Cause everything wasn't as it should be ...

 

So I taught him to dance and taught him to fight

I took him by the hand each and every night

Because his dreams turned to nightmares

And his brain turned to death

'Cause when he tried to fight he'd lose his breath

And when he tried to dance he'd stumble and fall

But I never gave up, I was there through it all

 

'Cause yes I met a boy wearing faded blue jeans

Who was destined to dance with kings and queens

But he'd always lived inside his dreams

'Cause everything isn't always as it should be ...

 

Now he's up there dancing with kings and queens

And he's up there following all his dreams

'Cause now everything is as it should be

Yet he still wears those faded blue jeans ...

 

Oh, I met a boy wearing faded blue jeans

Who I swore was destined to rule with kings and queens

'Cause his heart was pure and his heart was gold

And now he's not just doing what he's told

He's following his heart and following it true

He's doing what he really should do ...

 

Oh, I met a boy wearing faded blue jeans

Who'd never seen the kings and queens

Only ever lived in his dreams

But now he knows what love means ...

 

He used to cry every night

He used to feel oh, such fright

But now he knows I am here

And I swear I'll never disappear

'Cause he's an angel sent to earth

Didn't get what he deserved

'Cause life was cruel and life was wicked

All these scars and bruises, afflicted ...

 

I met a boy wearing faded blue jeans

Use to cry in his teens

Wasn't scared to dream his dreams

But he didn't believe in kings and queens

'Cause he felt he wasn't good enough

Felt so bad he shut himself up

Wouldn't come out of that Hell

'Cause he felt it did him well

To live in fear and live in pain

To scream every night, all in vain

So I took him to the side and told him that they'd lied

When they said he wasn't good enough ...

 

'Cause I met a boy wearing faded blue jeans

And he'd have died to know he was born of the queens

'Cause he felt so alone and he felt so afraid

Didn't know, of what he was made

So I held him close and held him dear

I told him everything he needed to hear

'Cause he deserved everything that'd kill his fear

He deserved Heaven, he deserved grace

He deserved knowing his exact place

'Cause it wasn't at the bottom, lying on the floor

It was on the top, sitting safe, forever more ...

 

'Cause I met a boy wearing faded blue jeans

And I told him of the kings and queens

Pulled him out of his dreams

And showed him that life can be what it seems ...

 

'Cause I met a boy wearing faded blue jeans

With his hands in the dirt and his hair in the breeze

His face marked with mud and scrapes on his knees

'Cause he'd been pushed around like a stray with flees

But I picked him up off the ground and asked him what was going down

And he told me, so sweet and pure, that he just fell and landed here

He wouldn't tell me who had done, such a thing to this little sun

'Cause his smile light up the whole night and his eyes shone so very bright

Even though they were black, black as night on the old track

Where the sun doesn't shine and the grass doesn't grow

But the old cars are still there, so ...

 

I met a boy wearing faded blue jeans

Just like the cars and the metal machines

Left in the dark, left in the cold

No longer used, but still not sold

'Cause they used to carry such heavy loads

But now they're alone and their life unfolds

But unlike them he wore a smile and said

"Will you stay with me for a while, instead?"

'Cause even though I was alone, with no family and no home

This little one, with a smile like the sun, and a heart of gold, didn't scold

He didn't look down on me for being so odd, didn't look down on me for being so off

He didn't mind that I snapped at times, or called others 'trash' at times

He really didn't seem to mind that I was harsh, rude and confinded

He didn't even tell me off when I cursed and hissed and hurt and lost

He sat there beside me, wearing those faded blue jeans

His hands in his pockets and his head on my knees

'Cause he would sit there, lying still

Making me hope he didn't catch a chill

'Cause he could sit for hours if it meant I'd calm down

And he could sit for hours if it mean't I'd come around ...

 

Oh, I met a boy wearing faded blue jeans

Who told me I was better than kings and queens

'Cause I wasn't made up or fake

I was real and there to take ...

So he took my hand and held it tight

Held it close through out the night

'Cause he said it helped him feel alright

When his nightmares caused him fright

And I swear to God I did all I could do

'Cause I loved him, through and through

It didn't matter that he'd cry, didn't matter that he couldn't lie

In fact those things made me love him more

'Cause he was the thing I was looking for

He made me better, yet he was the best

'Cause I could pass every test

But he was the one who taught me not to lie

He was the one who taught me how to cry

He was the one who showed me what love was

And he was the one who mattered, 'cause ...

 

I met a boy wearing faded blue jeans

And I thought "He doesn't know what loves means."

'Cause he looked so sad and his heart shown through

Worn on his sleeve and torn there too

'Cause you could see all the scars he bore

If you looked close enough you could see even more

'Cause he could never fight back if he never tried

But he didn't wanna fight, and he never lied

'Cause he wanted to be good, a good boy, he said

But that's how good kids end up dead

So I took him aside and tried to fix his head

But he ended up fixing me instead

'Cause it turns out I was wrong

And the boy with the faded blue jeans

Was right all along ...
