lyrics

There once was a boy who followed his own rules
could sing a million songs; his voice was a jewel
was known across the towns and places in between
A Million stars lit up his sky but darkness will be seen

Singing ohhh woah
Ohhh woah
Ohhh woah
Ohhh woah

He sang a thousand shows but you could hear it in his voice
They’d make him sing a thousand more regardless of his choice
All the stress, lack of rest, those fans flocked to him like pests
one more line, one more puff, the drugs hiding under his cuff

Singing ohhh woah
Ohhh woah
Ohhh woah
Ohhh woah

Crippled by fatigue, no this was not the boy’s dream
Hitting troubled water on his journey
The passion died quick. his money spent in one place
Spends all his days now trying to save face.

Singing ohhh woah
Ohhh woah
Ohhh woah
Ohhh woah

Livin out his days, tryna run from his past
Never did he think that his legacy would last
His body had succumbed, he paid the ferryman's toll
That's the final chapter of the voice made of gold

Singing ohhh woah
Ohhh woah
Ohhh woah
Ohhh woah
