(Ladadadada lada lada ladadada ladada dala dala)
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
But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And the times rolled by
Still I feel like a child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up
A little too soon
(Ladadadada lada lada ladadada ladada dala dala)
(Ladadadada lada lada ladadada ladada dala dala)
Funny how one can learn
To grow numb to the madness
And block it away
I left the worse unsaid
Let it all dissipate
And I try to forget
As I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And the time rolled by
Still I feel like a child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up
A little too soon
Nearing the edge (Nearing the edge)
Oblivious I almost (Oblivious)
Fell right over (I almost just)
A part of me (A part of me)
Will never be quite able (Will never be)
To feel stable (Able to feel)
That woman-child (That woman-child)
Failing inside (Failing inside)
Was on the verge of fading (Practically died)
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
As I closed my eyes (You are, you’re always alive)
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky (Guardian angel)
And though time’s rolled by (and the time’s rolled by)
Still I feel like a child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up
A little too soon
