Thomas Malloy

There was this boy:

He was smart and young and smiled and all.

Thomas Malloy,

Was his name and he made everyone laugh and

Be full of joy.

They wanted to just be around but,

A desperate boy,

For he lacked something

And he didn't know what it was. (2x)

So, he went to the woods,

With friends, tents and a bonfire.

The brightness of the stars,

The freshness of the river,

The bad smell of his friend Lars

Didn't convince him.

Chorus

So,

Thomas Malloy

Kept the search for that thing.

And he didn't know what it was. (2x)

Then, he thought he'd try the nightclub.

He danced, drank, maybe too much.

Multicoloured lights,

His view completely blurred,

Girls with skirts so tight

Didn't convince him.

Chorus

Monday at work,

There were files, reports, but no coffee.

The "credit crunch",

A headache from last night,

And half hour to lunch

Didn't convince him.

Chorus

Sad, and crying like a baby,

He gone home, that day,

Looked at his lil sister smiling

And found the beauty of everyday. (2x)

There was this boy:

He was smart and young and smiled and all.

Thomas Malloy,

Was his name and he made everyone laugh and

Be full of joy.

They wanted to just be around this

So happy boy,

For he found something

And it was the beauty of everyday. (2x)
