9 Years Old – David Archuleta

Nobody looking at me
Little boy by the trampoline
Neighbor dog barking at me
Solo singing in the backyard
Little boy talking to the breeze
In the shade of the pine trees

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I can be myself
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
That is how I felt

When I was nine years old
I knew better than I do now
Before I was told
That I had to figure it out
Didn’t sing because you were watching
Didn’t need my song to be sold
When I was nine years old
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Up high swinging my feet
A Little boy on the rock wall
I was scared that I might fall
But it was worth it to me
A little boy and the sunrise
Saw a bigger plan written in the sky

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I knew who I was then
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And I don’t wanna forget

When I was nine years old
I knew better than I do now
Before I was told
That I had to figure it out
Didn’t sing because you were watching
Didn’t need my song to be sold
When I was nine years old
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now all eyes looking at me, hey hey
Not the little boy in the backyard
Yeah, but he hasn’t gone far
Reminding me to be
To be in awe of the moment
Yeah, that boy isn’t gone yet
When I was nine years-old

I knew better than I do now
Before I was told
That I had to figure it out
Didn’t sing because you were watching
Didn’t need my song to be sold
When I was nine years-old
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I can be myself, eh
I can be myself
