Westwood Kid

Westwood kid with a dream so big

Carved his name on the schoolyard fig

Wore his shoes till the soles gave way

Said tomorrow's mine

Not yesterday

Oh Westwood kid with the fire inside

Running through the world with his arms stretched wide

A rebel with a laugh and a heart so wild

He’s a runaway train

A forever child

He played guitar in the subway loud

Tossed his voice like a lassoed cloud

Told the pigeons all his secret schemes

A city boy lost in his paper dreams

Oh Westwood kid with the fire inside

Running through the world with his arms stretched wide

A rebel with a laugh and a heart so wild

He’s a runaway train

A forever child

He danced with shadows under the streetlight glow

Told the moon his plans for a one-man show

Said the stars were just his stepping stones

And he’d climb them all till he owned the throne

Westwood kid found a path so steep

Fell down twice but refused to weep

Said the bruises just paint the map I need

To the place where the sky and the heart both bleed
