Hard contemporary folk and acoustic rock
Lyrics
Poor little Jack
trapped in a box
alone in the dark
fulfilling his destiny
the way it's meant to be
He's not afraid
there is no pain
or misery
a painted smile on his face
he patiently waits
The music starts to play
anticipation grows
the faster that it goes
tick tock
tick tock
he's just one click away
from the eternal light of day
Jump Jack
jump Jack
your granted a reprieve
jump Jack
jump Jack
spring forth from captivity
oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh (no)
you can't truely be free
it's just the way it's meant to be
Poor little Jack
trapped in a box
alone in the dark
a painted smile on his face
he patiently waits
For the children
who come to play
expected surprise
a repetitive game
ending always the same
The music starts to play
anticipation grows
the faster that it goes
tick tock
tick tock
your just one click away
from the look on the children's face
Jump Jack
jump Jack
your granted a reprieve
jump Jack
jump Jack
spring forth from captivity
oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh (no)
you can't truely be free
it's just the way it's meant to be
Poor little Jack
poor little boy
just a toy
oh can't you see
it's just the way it's meant to be
