I Can't Boy and Nowhere Man

I Can’t Boy asked Nowhere Man

“Can you please give me a hand?”

“I can’t get through my own front door,

And I’m just stuck here on my floor”

But Nowhere Man is lost inside

A dream he never dared and tried

One that causes great regret

A dream that he cannot forget

I Can’t Boy’s eyes filled with tears

While Nowhere Man dwells on his fears

And so decisions went untaken

And ambitions thus became forsaken

So I Can’t Boy he never went

To fly a kite or pitch a tent

He sat there pining on that floor

He never ventured out the door

And Nowhere Man longs for the past

Where he could follow dreams he’s cast

Moments that would bring great joy

But Nowhere Man was I Can’t Boy
