Little Boy Heart Alive by Andrew Peterson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Open the door and run outside
Your little boy heart alive
Into the morning light
Into the deep and wide

[Verse 2]
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
You better be home by suppertime
Back through the planet core

[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
So come to the Fathеr
Come to the deeper wеll
Drink of the water
And come to live a tale to tell
The pages are turning now
This is abundant life
The joy in the journey
Is enough to make a grown man cry

[Verse 3]
Kings and castles in the neighborhood
Swords on the forest floor
Dragons in the magic wood
You better saddle your battle horse
Fighting Goliath
You better choose your weapons right
Five little stones and a faith on fire
And a little boy heart alive

[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
So come to the Father
Come to the deeper well
Drink of the water
And come to live a tale to tell
The pages are turning now
This is abundant life
The joy in the journey
Is enough to make a grown man cry
Grown man cry

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
Take a ride on the mighty lion
Take a hold of the golden mane
This is the love of Jesus
So good but He is not tame, no

[Chorus]
So come to the Father
Come to the deeper well
Drink of the water
And come to live a tale to tell
The pages are turning now
This is abundant life
The joy in the journey
Is enough to make a grown man cry
Oh, with a little boy heart alive
[Outro]
Ever the road goes on and on
Ever the road goes on and on and on
