THERE'S A BOY ON MY BLOCK (lyrics)
There's a boy on my block, well not so much my block
I guess more like a world away, and still close enough to touch
This boy, no, this man, he hears me, he sees me for all I am
He offers all he can, God bless this man
Deep in my heart, I know he's good
But for so long I've been misunderstood
I trust myself more than anyone
I want so much to trust instead of being good
Time and space are all around my head
My heart and head are getting misconstrued
Most of the time I think beyond the truth
Please, God, let me stop and know its use
There's a boy on my block
My block is just a stone's throw from wonderful
All along I knew the other block was wrong
Not altogether wrong, but wrong for me
And now with outstretched arms I see you walking down my street
No need to come to you, you'll come to me
