Growing Up

These years have gone by so fast,

I mean I can barely remember the past,

I don’t wanna grow up

Or get old with my age,

I wanna stay young, not locked in a cage,

Life is too short, I can tell you that much,

It goes by so fast and leaves you with just one simple touch,

It leaves you stranded by years you wish to take back,

But no matter how hard you try that’s a talent you lack,

It’s hard to grow up and get on with your life,

Maybe next year your family will be surprised with your new wife,

I tell you this much and this much is true,

Growing is sadness that leaves me so blue,

I would love to stay young forever in a day,

Live my life happy in my own special way,

But one day my friends I will be old and gray,

I’ll go on the heaven to forever stay
