JUST A BOY
Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin

Rhy. Fig 1:
Rhy. Fig 2:
Who steers the ship through the stormy sea
If hope is lost then so are we
While some eyes search for one to guide us
Some are staring at me
Rhy. Fig 3a w/ Rhy. Fig 3b:

Rhy. Fig 4a w/ Rhy. Fig 4b:
But I'm no hero
Though I wish I could be

Rhy. Fig 5a w/ Rhy. Fig 5b:
For I am just a boy,
Too young to be sailing
Rhy. Fig 6a w/ End 1 and Rhy. Fig 6b w/ End 1:
I am just a boy,
And my future is unveiling
And I'm so frightened of failing

Solo over Rhy. Fig 2:
While some eyes search for one to guide us
Some are staring at me
Rhy. Fig 3a w/ Rhy. Fig 3b:

Rhy. Fig 4a w/ Rhy. Fig 4b:
But I'm no hero
Though I wish I could be

Rhy. Fig 5a w/ Rhy. Fig 5b:
For I am just a boy,
Too young to be sailing
Rhy. Fig 6a w/ End 2 and Rhy. Fig 6b w/ End 2:
I am just a boy,
And my future is unveiling
And I'm so frightened of failing
