I was a 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 times rolled by Still I feel like a child As I look at the moon 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
As I closed my eyes Steadied my feet on the ground Raised my head to the sky And the times rolled by Still I feel like a child As I look at the moon Maybe I grew up a little too soon
Nearing the edge Oblivious I almost fell right over A part of me Will never be quite able to feel stable That woman-child failing 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 (You are, you’re always a light) Steadied my feet on the ground (Mmm, mmm) Raised my head to the sky (Guardian angel) And the times rolled by (And the times rolled by) Still I feel like a child As I look at the moon Maybe I grew up a little too soon
