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


[Chorus:]
But I closed my eyes

Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time's rolled by

Still feel like a 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


[Chorus]

Nearing the edge

Obvious 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
(You're always alive)


[Chorus]
