Little Boy Heart Alive

Open the door and run outside Your little boy heart alive Into the morning light Into the deep and wide Dinosaur bones in the flowerbed Rockets in the clouds In a fight with a spider's web Tunnels in the ground Winding to China To the mist of the distant shore Better be home by suppertime Back through the planet core Feel the beat of a distant thunder It's the sound of an ancient song This is the Kingdom calling Come now and tread the dawn Come to the father Come to the deeper well Drink of the water And come to live a tale to tell Pages are turning now This is abundant life The joy in the journey Is enough to make a grown man cry With a little boy heart alive Kings and castles in the neighborhood Swords on the forest floor Dragons in the magic wood Better saddle your battle horse Fighting Goliath Better choose your weapons right Five little stones and a faith on fire In a little boy heart alive Chorus Met a kid at the railroad track He had a stick and a nylon sack I ran to the house to pack I wanted to follow Take a ride on the mighty lion Take a hold of the golden mane This is the love of Jesus So good but it is not tame Chorus Ever the road goes on and on Ever the road goes on and on and on --- Little Boy Heart Alive - Andrew Peterson
