"Hey, Ian, it's dad Um, I wanted to thank you for your song I really enjoyed it and I know you're worried about me And I just wanna say thank you for thinking about me And for doing that And, yeah, I really liked it And, uh Anyway love you and catch up with you soon" I write these lyrics in spirit of what I know to be true 'Cause what I need most is a clear point of view And what I seek most isn't straight or obtuse It's a middle ground somewhere in the center of the room A lot of days start with a tendency for gloom But I find ways to walk toward the light by noon So, when night falls and the clock strikes zero I've found peace of mind in this war with my ego I used to be a little kid Then I woke up in this body Woke up in this body I used to be a little kid Then I woke up in this body Woke up in this body Some days it hurts to grow Some days it hurts to know That some things happen that I can't control So, I hold a place in my heart for the ones that I love And keep a couple slots open for the ones to come I've shied away from my intimacy but now I see That it's me who I fear more than women I see There's phases and stages of life in my lyrics Yesterday, I bleached my hair just to lighten my spirits I used to be a little kid Then I woke up in this body Woke up in this body I used to be a little kid Then I woke up in this body Woke up in this body
