I saw him there once

but he couldn't be seen...

I spoke to him once

but 'twas only a dream...

For the boy had been lost

and could not find his way...

Not when he couldn't

admit he was gay.

The secrets of life

can be hard on the soul...

The regrets and the strife

can grow out of control...

But lost boy survived

and he found his way OUT...

Finally,

something worth singing about.

For boy who'd been lost

was now boy who'd been found...

He found himself true

and he would not be drowned...

He still plays at pool

and he's still hot as porn...

But we both smile now,

the lost boy reborn.

And I'm sorry this took so long.
