Hey little boy,
What brings you to town?
Where is your little girl?
What brings you around?
For the light you bring
With everything you’ve seen.
Say a little prayer,
And tell us where you’ve been.

I’ve flown above the lights of the city,
The moon stared me right in the eye,
Where darkness and light take pity,
And welcome me back for a while.

Hey little boy,
What brings you to town?
Where is your little girl?
What brings you around?
Was it wild desire,
Lifting you up higher?
Won’t you tell me some more,
And sit by the fire.

Dancing on tunes of tomorrow,
Singing the songs of yesterday.
Gliding around through streams of moonlight,
Until I was safely on my way.

Hey little boy,
What brings you to town?
Where is your little girl?
What brings you around?
Was it wild desire,
That lifted you up higher?
Won’t you tell me some more,
And sit by the fire.

For the light you bring
With everything you’ve seen.
Say a little prayer,
And tell us where you’ve been.
