I was A Dainty Boy
In all my robes
In all my jewels
Colf stick at my side
My youth was coursed by elders

Knowing my place
And places to come
Served by servants
Protected by walls
Groomed by power, for power

I was A Dainty Boy
In todays society
Enriched by others labor
No sense of hunger
My youth set above, the lesser set

Still my place. And places to come
Unknown in today world, tomorrow
Today's world is only today
Stars and the sun are tomorrow

I am The Dainty Boy
In all my wealth, and glory
Yet I'm still just a youth
Will I see the stars and the sun,
Will I see tomorrow
