TITLE: THE BOY IN THE BOX
_________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
A cardboard cradle
Cold as stone
Under gray skies
All alone
The trees whispered secrets to the breeze
But none spoke his name
None heard his pleas
A nameless shadow in the city's chest
The boy who never found his rest

(Chorus)
Who was he? Who could say?
The boy in the box
Lost in the clay
Who was he? Who could know?
A life unlived
No place to go

(Verse 2)
A faded blanket
Frayed at the seams
Covered a silence too loud for dreams
The whispers of leaves
The hum of the air
Echoed his story
But no one was there
Eyes wide open
Yet closed to the light
A mystery born of a moonless night

(Chorus)
Who was he? Who could say?
The boy in the box
Lost in the clay
Who was he? Who could know?
A life unlived
No place to go

(Bridge)
Did he laugh? Did he cry?
Did he see the stars before the goodbye?
Was there a hand that held him tight
Before he vanished into the night?

(Verse 3)
The world moves on
It forgets its ghosts
But some hearts linger where the pain is most
A name unspoken
A face unknown
Yet he’s etched in the marrow of our bones
The boy in the box
A riddle untamed
A story unanswered
A soul unnamed

(Outro)
He earned the moniker of "America's Unknown Child", & the cold case still lingers for justice to be filed. What fate took who was responsible for this brutal death? Did Karma catch up with the abusive & shameless culprit?
