My boys, my boys
In the palm of my hand
Wrapped around my finger
By my side they both stand

Daniel was first
Sweet as can be
But Daniel, my Daniel
He cheated on me
He gave me the stars,
The moon and the sun
But when I woke from my dream
My first kiss was gone

Ryan was next
With a kiss of surprise
Loving me right
With those calm, gentle eyes
But he kissed me softly
Then went away
And much like Daniel
He will lead me astray

My heart aches and cries
For one of them again
Wanting their kiss
And their hand in my hand

Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
To Me
One Year Older
Another Day Colder
Happy Birthday
To Me

Hush now, listen,
Do you hear that sound?
It's the sound of weeping people
But it isn't very loud

Our world is full of noise,
Technology, laughter, anger
Music booming in our ears
Politics that scream of danger!
But if you listen very close
Listen past the disturbance
You'll find the noise is all a fake
The truth is found in silence

The truth of people wandering like ghosts
Lost in this world of conformity
As they cry out for a hand to touch
Only finding our world of deformity

Hello hello
A brand new friend
How do you do
My brand new friend
I like your hair
Pretty and long
You call me Pig
We now belong
Together us two
We're peas in a pod
Hand in hand
Our smiles quite odd

Hello hello
My best friend
How do you do
My best friend
Tell me your troubles
We've been friends long enough
Hand be your burdens
When things get tough
I'm that friend
With a gentle smile
Who will walk with you
For thousands of miles

Hello hello
My closest friend
How do you do
My closest friend
Your weight is heavy
And so is mine
We pull some harder
Then break our lines
I know less and less
Of your life's great war
Suddenly we're strangers
Again once more

Hello hello
My faraway friend
How do you do
My faraway friend
You've gone far away
And left me behind
No traces of you
You've left me to find
My heart, it aches
But I must pretend
That when I think of you
You're still my friend

I see my world in black and white
Painted with shades of gray
All the color has been drained
I pray the rain will go away
