Charlie Anyboy - The Blenders[00:00:00]
Saturday morning's paper before me[00:00:15]
All is laid out in black and white[00:00:20]
One little story lost on the last page[00:00:24]
Told of a Charlie Anyboy[00:00:29]
Charlie was only nine in the story[00:00:34]
Lived in suburban Anywhere[00:00:39]
Parents ignored him oh but adored him[00:00:43]
So read the life of Anyboy[00:00:48]
Late winter's morning outside they're playing[00:00:59]
Break from the daily write 'n read[00:01:04]
Charlie was off from the others with Billy[00:01:08]
Friends since the start of second grade[00:01:13]
Billy showed Charlie a toy that was heavy[00:01:18]
One he hoped daddy would not see[00:01:22]
Neither had seen one quite of this caliber[00:01:27]
Only in cop shows on TV[00:01:32]
What a frozen day for the boys to play[00:01:35]
Such a stillness in the air[00:01:40]
And the sun didn't shine on that kid barely nine[00:01:45]
Was he chosen [00:01:49]
It's not fair[00:01:53]
Twelve o'clock sound rang out in the playground[00:02:01]
Telling the kids to run inside[00:02:06]
Everyone scattered which way didn't matter[00:02:10]
As Charlie stumbled and fell behind[00:02:15]
Charlie lay silent peace was beside him[00:02:20]
Children looked on in disbelief[00:02:25]
They hadn't seen such a sight of this caliber[00:02:29]
Only in cop shows on TV[00:02:34]
What a frozen day for the boys to play[00:02:38]
Such a stillness in the air[00:02:42]
And the sun didn't shine on that kid barely nine[00:02:47]
Was he chosen [00:02:52]
It's not fair[00:02:55]
How my heart is filled with a permanent chill[00:02:56]
As I think of Charlie lying there[00:03:01]
Someone's son barely nine[00:03:06]
How it could have been mine[00:03:08]
I'm so tired of the same cold stories[00:03:10]
I don't think Mother Nature intended[00:03:19]
For Charlie to leave the world today[00:03:24]
I don't think Mother Nature intended[00:03:29]
For Charlie to leave the world this way[00:03:33]
