Lyrics

Jack in the Box ©2003 Stefanie Kammerman & Alex Stangl

Can Jack come out and play today
She fights the tears because she just can?t say
Why Jack is living in a different state
Staring at the walls with an empty face
Frustration,
Is building
She keeps it all inside
His eyes look
Right through her
He?s somewhere else in time

Chorus
He?s a Jack in the box
That you can?t wind up
The music?s playing
But its not enough
Jack in the box
No he?s not a toy
Just a helpless, fragile
Little boy

Can Jack come out and play today
For three years he was sent away
The doctors didn?t have much to say
There are things in life that you just can?t change
Each night she
Prays deeply
That god will heal his soul
Each morning
She hopes that
Jack will be like other boys

Chorus

Does he know there?s something different
Does he think there?s something wrong
He can hear her, he can listen
But he?s locked inside his walls

Chorus
