I was 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 though time’s rolled by 
Still feel like that child 
As I look at the monn 
Maybe I grew up 
A little too soon 
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 
But I closed my eyes 
Steadied my feet on the ground 
Raised my head to the sky 
And though time’s rolled by 
Still feel like that child 
As I look at the monn 
Maybe I grew up 
A little too soon 
Nearing the edge 
Obvious I almost 
Fell right over A part of me 
Will never be quite able
