I saw a vision Little boy You covered up your own insights But I may have held your hand Or seen the ghost you tried to fight
Oh a vision Little boy You strayed down to find the clowns Oh and when I wrote these lines for you Not, not one of them was found
Blame the circus and the clowns Before you blame yourself Cause when your greatest needs go unforgiven And your gifts go unreceived
Little boy Man of need Who could know that the road would fall Not me not one of us That surrounds your golden walls
So now blame the circus and the clowns Before you blame yourself Cause all your greatest needs go unforgiven All your gifts go unreceived
Who could know of the fall Who could slow the speed Who could hold your hand We all laughed and thought you were so free
Vision boy Man of need Oh do the monkeys get you down Oh they promise you the dance of life Complete with laughters crown
Little boy Man of need Did you find the freak show and a crowd I said cut the canvas on the tent Oh we were all innocent
Blame the circus and the clowns Before you blame yourself When your greatest needs go unforgiven And your gifts go unreceived Oh your greatest needs go unforgiven And your gifts they go unreceived
