lyrics

Watch them run and jump and play outside my window
I want to go out and join in the fun
Mother tells me no, she says that I'm just too young
They play too rough, and I'll get hurt in the end

I want to play with the big boys
Playing with the big boys
Playing with the big boys, is where I want to be

Watch them throw and catch the ball, down in the park
I want to go down, and join in the game
Sometimes it's rough, being the smallest kid
When they choose the sides, I'm always left at the end

She stops me playing with the big boys
play with the big boys
playing with the big boys, is where I want to be

And one day, when I am big and strong
I'll walk through the gate, and feel I belong
And when I get there, will it have to be so hard?
Big boys are playing in another back yard

At night, when Mother tucks me into bed
You know, I always dream of staying up late, instead
And in the morning, though I have grown by one day
You know, I'll always be too young, to be a part of their play

about

The Prodigal Sounds Novato, California

Melodic progressive rock songs and instrumentals, 70's influence but a product of the dystopian Now.

"Very smooth, hi-tech sounding delivery..." - Chris Jemmett, alt.music.yes

"..on a rare occasion you just have to conclude that the prog world should be feasting upon the birth of a new and promising act. That's exactly the case with this album."
- Theo Verstrael, DPRP.net ... more
