La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da, da da
La-da-da-da-da
Da, da, da, da

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 the time's rolled by
Still feel like that child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up a little too soon

La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da, da da
La-da-da-da-da
Da, da, da, da

La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da, da da
La-da-da-da-da
Da, da, da, da, da-da

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

As I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And the time's rolled by
Still 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 (oblivious) I almost
Fell right over (I almost)
A part of me (a part of me)
Will never be (will never be) quite able
To feel stable (able to feel)
That woman-child (that woman-child)
Failing inside (failing inside)
Was on the verge of fading
Thankfully I (thank God I)
Woke up in time, 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
Raise my head to the sky (guardian angel)
As the time roll by (when the times roll by)
Still I feel like a child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up a little too soon
