As a Child Lyrics

When I was five

Running around the house

With so many dreams on my mind

Oh I never got tired

Wide-eyed and brave

Painting pictures of a life

That someday I would create

I wouldn’t have to behave

Now there’s no magic in expectations

Oh life was easier back then

As a child I never worried for my future

Dreaming big and building stages in the sky

As a child I believed in impossible things

With eternity in my eyes

I’m still the girl I used to be

As a child

Fully alive

I could hold the moon

With my tiny hands all night

I lit a fire inside

Singing a tune

Building cities in a sandbox

And worlds inside of my room

It was over too soon

Now there’s no magic in expectations

Oh I wish I could feel that way again

As a child I never worried for my future

Dreaming big and building stages in the sky

As a child I believed in impossible things

With eternity in my eyes

I’m still the girl I used to be

As a child

I won’t grow up!

As a child I never worried for my future

Dreaming big and building stages in the sky

As a child I never worried for my future

Dreaming big and building stages in the sky

As a child I believed in impossible things

With eternity in my eyes

I’m still the girl I used to be

As a child
