Lyrics
La-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da I was 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 La-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da 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 Nearing the edge (nearing the edge) Oblivious, I almost (oblivious) Fell right over A part of me (a part of me) Will never be quite able To feel stable That woman-child falling inside (that woman-child) Was on the verge of fading Thankfully I Woke up in time (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 You are, you're always alive, mm Guardian angel And the time's rolled by Still I feel like a child As I look at the moon Maybe I grew up A little too soon
