Suddenly

And Out Of Nowhere

Came A Boy With A Dream

His Face Was Cute

His Heart Was Open

His Hands Were Soft And Clean

In A World Of Deception,

Of Crime And Disease

A Flower In The Desert

An Ocean Underneath

He Entered The Stage

With A Smile On His Face

See No Evil. Hear No Bad

He Poured His Soul Out Into A Glass

There Was Fear In Everybody's Eyes

Afraid He Might Break Their Disguise

His Beauty Made Them Insecure

They'd Never Seen A Heart So Pure

What A Piece Of Work Is Man

How Merciful As Enemy

How Generous As Friend

What A Piece Of Work Is Man

How Unselfish His Commitment

How Little His Demand

As The Courtain Fell Behind The Scene

They Realized Just What They'd Seen

They Did Their Best To Hide Their Greed

They All Knew That He Would Bleed

And That Same Warm Summer Night

He Fell Victim To Their Pride

They Tore His Skin As Yet Unscarred

They Broke His Bones, They Broke His Heart

As He Lay There, Close To Death

Struggling For One More Breath

He Reached His Hands Out Into The Sky

His Bright Blue Eyes Still Asking

Why?

What A Piece Of Work Is Man...
