Andrew Peterson - Little Boy Heart Alive lyrics

Open the door and run outside

Your little boy heart alive

Into the morning light

Into the deep and wide

Dinosaur bones in the flowerbed

Rockets in the clouds

In a fight with a spider's web

Tunnels in the ground

Winding to China

To the mist of the distant shore

Better be home by suppertime

Back through the planet core

Feel the beat of a distant thunder

It's the sound of an ancient song

This is the Kingdom calling

Come now and tread the dawn

Come to the father

Come to the deeper well

Drink of the water

And come to live a tale to tell

Pages are turning now

This is abundant life

The joy in the journey

Is enough to make a grown man cry

With a little boy heart alive

Kings and castles in the neighborhood

Swords on the forest floor

Dragons in the magic wood

Better saddle your battle horse

Fighting Goliath

Better choose your weapons right

Five little stones and a faith on fire

In a little boy heart alive

Chorus

Met a kid at the railroad track

He had a stick and a nylon sack

I ran to the house to pack

I wanted to follow

Take a ride on the mighty lion

Take a hold of the golden mane

This is the love of Jesus

So good but it is not tame

Chorus

Ever the road goes on and on

Ever the road goes on and on and on
