  • Heads popped up, the loud speaker blared
    A thousand different men, the same feeling shared
    Eyes were all blurry from sleepless nights
    It was all adding up, this must be a sign
    His shoulders were sore, just like he was told
    Something about, you reap what you sow
    He digs up the past, every time he comes home
    Hearing his mom talk to his aunt on the phone

    Is destiny calling my name?
    Is destiny calling my name? Yeah
    Michael, Michel, Mikel, put a label on ya
    England, France visit Scandinavia

    Hey kids, you're so precious
    You're just a boy like the rest of us (ooh)
    Hey kids, you're so precious
    You're just a boy like the rest of us (ooh)
    You're just a boy like the rest of us (work it out)

    I like a good story much as the next guy
    I like a tear jerker that makes me cry
    But you're scaring the kids and it's past bedtime
    You're putting ideas into their curious minds
    Never again, is what we all said
    Never again, or we'll all end up dead
    Your tall tales, they follow and surround me
    When all I ever wanted was your arms around me

    Is destiny calling my name?
    Is destiny calling my name? Oh
    Mary, Maria, Molly be adventurous
    Holland, Spain, don't forget the Irish

    Hey kids, you're so precious
    You're just a girl like the rest of us (ooh)
    Hey kids, you're so precious
    You're just a girl like the rest of us (ooh)
    You're just a girl like the rest of us
    Michael, Michel, Mikel, put a label on ya
    England, France, this is Scandinavia
    Mary, Maria, Molly, be adventurous
    Don't forget the Irish
    Please don't forget the Irish

    Hey kids, you're so precious
    You're just a boy like the rest of us (ooh)
    Hey kids, you're so precious
    You're just a boy like the rest of us (ooh)
    Hey kids (hey kids)
    You're so precious (so precious)
    You're just a girl like the rest of us (ooh)
    Hey kids (hey kids)
    You're so precious (so precious)
    You're just a girl like the rest of us (ooh)
    You're just a boy like the rest of us
    Yeah Writer/s: Michael John Deangelis, Nicholas William Dika, Robert Max Kerman, Timothy James Oxford
