At times, I feel old like I'm going out of style So I turn down the music on my FM dial I beg of you to come and listen for a while And look at this wonderful world through the eyes of a child This is my chance to escape today And I don't want to see my dreams chased away Inside the palace gates is where I stay 'Cause the world is no longer a safe place to play Its like the story of the little wooden boy Who wanted to live the life that every child should enjoy I heard it once or twice before The world is yours for you to explore I heard my calling as a child and I answered it When I grow up and finally get my chance to fit I'll be the sort of man that you can't forget I used to stair up at the sky on my camping trips In this quiet night of quiet stars Of quiet chords on my guitar Kids out there, I know it might be hard But I realize how alive you are
CHORUS One day I'll travel from the East to the West And tap into the hidden strength that all men possess I'll always be young, see a young mind is fresh And its clear my memories will one day disappear unless Do you remember? Yes I remember Do you remember?
Some say the price of life has a costly amount When it comes to fights, I might've lost me a bout But I've never lost my head 'cause that would cost me a scalp So when my heart became cold like the Austrian Alps I used to use my aggression, just to hurt mics In '86 my whole crew was in to dirt bikes Like the GT Predator or a Mongoose Listen as I ride the rhythm and let the rhymes loose This is what makes my life so real I'll take my chances and spin the wheel I can't wait to grow up so I'll know the deal But right now I'm a child and this is how I feel My younger days were sort of tragic despite I learned to unify the pen and pad with the mic I might need a little bit of magic tonight 'Cause to me imagination is the fabric of life My rhymes helped me many times grow'n up Before keep'n it real, all the days are blow'n up I put on shows in my room- nobody show'n up I'm just a little guy now, but when I'm old enough
