Lyrics for A Boy in Motion

Spread the news A boy in motion As if he knows Just what is in line For his king For his country It's what is in motion It's what is in line It's what is in mind It's been removed It's been removed The hour has come Shames the lover Blames the starlight For lack of sleep And lack of pride For all nations And feel no emotion And seek not a sign For the pacified mind It's been removed It's been removed
