Boy Beneath the Stone

Carved in Carrara marble,
cast with a sullen stare,
wide eyed grand cathedral in despair.
Seventeen feet above me, but no more than a child,
Poised to fight Goliath with a slingshot in his hand
Michelangelo,
did you fall in love with him?
His beauty's all we've known.
David's just a name that you gave to him,
but tell me now,who's the boy beneath the stone?

Standing like an angel,glaring out to Rome,
He was two years in the making,five hundred years ago.
Some say they were lovers,but I guess we'll never know.
And I can't help but wonder,who was that boy beneath the stone?
Michelangelo,
did you fall in love with him?His beauty's all we've know.
David's just a name that you gave to him
Tell me now, who's the boy beneath the stone?
Tell me was he your lover, brother or just some ragabone?
Tell me now, who's that boy beneath the stone?
Tell me was he your lover, brother or just some Romeo
Tell me now, who's that boy beneath the stone?
