Close My Eyes
I was a wayward childWith the weight of the worldThat I held deep insideLife was a winding roadAnd I learned many thingsLittle ones shouldn't know
As I close my eyesSteady my feet on the groundRaise my head to the skyAnd though time rolls byStill I feel like a childAs I look at the moonMaybe I grew up a little too soon
Funny how one can learnTo grow numb to the madnessAnd block it awayI left the worst unsaidLet it all dissipateAnd I try to forget
As I close my eyesSteady my feet on the groundRaise my head to the skyAnd though time rolls byStill I feel like a childAs I look at the moonMaybe I grew up a little too soon
Nearing the edgeOblivious I almostFell right overA part of meWill never be quite ableTo feel stableThat woman-child falling insideWas on the verge of fadingThankfully IWoke up in time
Guardian angel ISail away on an oceanWith you by my sideOrange clouds roll byThey burn into your imageAnd you're still alive
As I close my eyesSteady my feet on the groundRaise my head to the skyAnd though time rolls byStill I feel like a childAs I look at the moonMaybe I grew up a little too soon
