"Kid Again"
The cool wind blows through the air,
as I lay in the laves and just stare.
Stare at the sky as my life passes by,
as I go from 5-16 in the blink of an eye.
I was once a child not worrying at all,
as I watch the seasons change from Summer to Fall.
Not caring about growing up or my grades in school,
not worrying about girls or how to be cool.
As I play in the leaves and have fun,
time flies by and my fun is done.
No more crying because I fell and got a scrape,
no more climbing in boxes and trying to escape.
Now it's grades and school,
and girls and being cool.
I never expected to grow up so fast,
I always thought my childhood would last.
As I lay in the leaves I wish I could return,
to the time I stayed home with mom and was too young to learn.
When I was on an adventure in an imaginary world,
and not always wondering, "Who was that girl?"
When I ran outside and screamed "tag your it,"
and wishing I were older, only now I regret it.
I wish I could go back when I could just sit down and cry,
but now that i'm older I have to stand up and try.
Don't you wish you could go back to when you could just lie in the sun,
and just play in the leaves until the day is done?
Don't you wish you could get away from the pressures of school,
and go back to when you thought everything was cool?
Now as I lay in the leaves and the fall wind blows by,
I just wanna lay back and cry.
For I wanna go back to when life was fun,
but now all of my childhood is done.
So as I lay back in the leaves and look at the sky,
i know that my life is passing me by.
I'd give anything to go back when,
I could be a little kid again.
So as your growing up andyou think life's a bore,
just play in the leaves and be a kid once more.
Hey, life is too short to pass you by,
just lay back in the leaves and stare at the fall sky.
