Well I am the boy who cried wolf
And I know I've lied in the past
But last night I saw his yellow eyes shining in the dark
Yeah I know I've spun tales with this voice
And I open my mouth too fast
But last night I saw his footprints in the path
Well I could swim every sea from south pole to north
But I know I'll only ever be the boy who cried wolf
Well I am the shepherds only son
And I know what a joke I've become
I've an honest heart but I've lies on my tongue
I don't know how it started or where it came from
And you have no reason and I have no proof
But this time I swear I'm telling the truth
I saw that old wolf from tail to tooth
And I know that he's hungry and he's coming down too
Well I could swim every sea from south pole to north
And I could climb every tree and scale every course
Well I could tell only the truth from this day fourth
But I know I'll only ever be the boy who cried wolf
Oh oh I am the boy who cried wolf
Oh oh I am the boy who cried wolf
