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 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 

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 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 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 

As I closed my eyes 
Steady my feet on the ground 
Raise my head to the sky 
And though time rolls by 
Still I feel like a child 
As I look at the moon 
Maybe I grew up 
A little too soon
