Little Again

I'd give anything to be little again, and sit on my grandaddy's knee
Listening to his tall tale stories and feeling like I was free.
I owned the world, no one could take it, Everything was in my hands.
I had so many dreams and ambitions, I had so many plans.
Everything seemed so big to me, but still I had it all...
There was no mountain I couldn't climb, no building stood too tall
The people around me loved me so much, and I showed them love in return
I was excited about living life, I knew I had plenty to learn.
Only halfway grown, things seem so different, Nothing feels the same
Its hard to look in the mirror and accept what I became.
No longer do I own the world, I don't really own anything
I fell in love not once, but twice, and gave up on my dream.
I feel so out-of-place now, looking up at the mountains I once could climb
Missing the things I dreamt of doing, and running out of time.
No longer do I express my love for the ones who love me most
Pushing the ones who care away, and keeping very few close.
I don't really care to wake up everyday, because I know it's always the same
I'm tired of living my life with guilt, I'm tired of living with shame.
It seems to me now there's nothing left to learn, I'm too smart for any advice
And if I don't hear what I want to the first time, chances are I won't ask twice.
I wish that I was little again, and held the world in my palm.
I wish I was still as close as I used to be with my mom.
I wish that I was little again, and still had hopes and dreams
I wish that I was little again, but thats over with now, it seems...
