    A
 One day the boy decided
        D        E
 To let them know the way he felt inside
    A
 He could not stand to hide it
        D        E
 His mother she broke down and cried

 Oh my father
        A        D
 Why don't you talk to me now?
    E
 Oh my mother
        A        D
 Do you still cry yourself to sleep?
 E               A    D    E
 Are you still proud of your little boy?

 D           E
 Don't be afraid (be afraid)

 You don't have to hideaway

Verse:
 The boy he was rejected
 By the people that he cared for
 It's not what they expected
 But he could not keep it secret anymore

 Far from home now
 Waiting by the telephone
 There's a new world
 You can make it on your own
 Are you still proud of your little boy?

 Don't be afraid
 You don't have to hideaway, no

 Learn to be brave
