Intro

x2

I was way - ward 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 I feel like that child

 As I look at the moon

Maybe I grew up

 A little too soon

x4

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 though time's rolled by

 Still I feel like that child

 As I look at the moon

Maybe I grew up

 A little too soon

x2

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 you're still alive

But I closed my eyes

 Steadied my feet on the ground

 Raised my head to the sky

 And though time's rolled by

 Still I feel like that child

 As I look at the moon

Maybe I grew up

 A little too soon
