There once was a boy who found a hole in his heart
And searched all around for that missing part
Wherever he looked, he found something that fit
But soon melted away, every bit by every bit.
Years did go by
And that young boy did cry
For he could not find what filled his lonely heart
Until one day a man, clothed in golden flannel and fleece
Promised the boy he could find that missing piece
And the boy went along and found love in his things
His possessions and awards, dressing like kings.
He pushed people away for he was so high
His throne clad in iron, spearing the sky
A heart glazed with, a shield of pure stone
Though he had many working for him, he was utterly alone.
But that day finally came, he realized he still searched for that part
Still yearning to fill that hole in his heart
Death bed ridden in his dying end
That old man realized what he truly wanted
Was a friend.
