There's more to a boy than his hat and shoes
And the things you buy for his hands to USE
There's more to learn than his slightest whm.
There's depth and breadth to the soul of him.

Close to his side he'll grow away,
But in all that he does if you watch to see
You'll catch some hint of the man he'll be.
