I was a 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
Chorus 1 But I closed my eyes Steadied my feet on the ground Raised my head to the sky And let times roll by Still I feel like that child As I look at the moon Maybe I grew up a little too soon
Verse 2 Funny how one can learn To grow numb to the madness And block it away I left the worst unsaid Let it all dissipate And I try to forget
Chorus 2 As I close my eyes Steady my feet on the ground Raise my head to the sky And let time roll by Still I feel like a child As I look at the moon Maybe I grew up a little too soon
Bridge Nearing the edge Oblivious I almost Fell right over A part of me Will never be quite able To feel stable That woman-child feeling inside Was on the verge of fading Thankfully I Woke up in time
Verse 3 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)
Chorus 3 As I close my eyes Steady my feet on the ground Raise my head to the sky And though time rolls by Still I feel like a child As I look at the moon Maybe I grew up a little too soon
