Boy of the Year

from Song​-​A​-​Day by Bill White

lyrics

When I was Boy of the Year
They made a mask of my face
Those who refused to wear it
Met a terrible fate

When I knocked out the Italian Stallion
In a Golden Gloves fight
I was the King of Philadelphia
But only for one night

I knew I could do better
So I put an end to war
And rearranged our RNA
Sickness was no more

The officer and the laughing girl
Were painted by Vermeer
I was alone on the cover of Time Magazine
The Man of the Year

None of it was real
All was done for sport
My life had too many chapters
All of them too short

I traded the gifts of the spirit
For the fruit of the flesh
At the reconciliation
My brain was repossessed

Man of the Year
Boy of the Hour
Child of the rain brings life
To Our Lady the Flowers
