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:
But I closed my eyes
steadied my feet on the ground
raised my head to the sky
and though times rolled by
still I feel like a child as I look at the moon
maybe I grew up a little too soon
La-da-da-da-da....
Funny how one can learn
to grow numb to the madness
and block it away
I left the words unsaid
let it all dissipate
and I try to forget
Chorus
Bridge:
Nearing the edge
Obvious I almost
Fell right over
A part of me
Will never be quite able
To feel stable
That woman-child falling inside
Was on the verge of fading
Thankfully I
Woke up in time
Guardian angel I
sail away on an ocean
with you by my side.
Orange clouds roll by
they burn into your image
and your still alive
Chorus
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:
But I closed my eyes
steadied my feet on the ground
raised my head to the sky
and though times rolled by
still I feel like a child as I look at the moon
maybe I grew up a little too soon
La-da-da-da-da....
Funny how one can learn
to grow numb to the madness
and block it away
I left the words unsaid
let it all dissipate
and I try to forget
Chorus
Bridge:
Nearing the edge
Obvious I almost
Fell right over
A part of me
Will never be quite able
To feel stable
That woman-child falling inside
Was on the verge of fading
Thankfully I
Woke up in time
Guardian angel I
sail away on an ocean
with you by my side.
Orange clouds roll by
they burn into your image
and your still alive
Chorus
