I was wayward child
With the weight of the world that I held deep inside
Life was a winding road
And I learned many things little ones shouldn't know
But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time's rolled by
Still I feel like that child as I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up a little too soon
La la la da da
La la la da da da da
La la la da da
Da da, da da
La la la da da
La la la da da da da
La la la da da
Da da, da da
Funny how one can learn
To grow numb to the madness and block it away (block it away)
I left the worst unsaid
Let it all dissipate and I try to forget
But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time's rolled by
Still feel like that child as I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up a little too soon
La la la da da
La la la da da da da
La la la da da
Da da, da da
La la la da da
La la la da da da da
La la la da da
Da da, da da
Nearing the edge (nearing the edge)
Oblivious I almost (oblivious)
Fell right over (fell right over)
A part of me (a part of me)
Will never be quite able (will never be)
To feel stable (will never be)
That woman-child falling inside (that woman-child)
Was on the verge of fading (I)
Thankfully I (thankfully I)
Woke up in time (woke up in time, time, time)
Guardian angel, I
Sail away on an ocean
With you by my side
Orange clouds roll by
They burn into your image
And you're still alive (you're always alive)
But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time's rolls by
Still feel like that child as I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up a little too soon
