Description The scent of burning candles on fresh cake
And the taste of sweet honey on wheat bread
The little doctor’s kit with a stethoscope
Ready for your stuffed animal patient

The early years were the best
Now that I try to block out the hard times
They seem like tiny pieces, of, heaven

The early years were the easiest
Go to school just to learn how to sleep
And play games where you learn one, plus, one

The early years were filled with love
No knowing of bullies and sheltered by parents
And never worrying where we, were, going

The early years were filled with ignorance
Never trying to make peace or war
Because you didn’t even know what fighting, was, for

But Kids grow
They start to learn
They learn about death
All over the Earth
Then they become cruel
And live with the fact
Nothing to do
But just sit back

The scent of alcohol lingering on young breath
And the taste of the next cigarette
The sliding door closet with tons of clothes
Waiting for your stereotypical body

The teenage years were filled with angst
Just wanting to die every moment
But always having everyone there to, help, you

The teenage years were nothing but drama
Him talking ‘bout her who was talking ‘bout him
And going home to cry yourself, to, sleep

The teenage years were kinda pointless
Going through school learning math and science
And never needing to know it, at, all
The teenage years were just so damn stupid
Cussing out him for cussing out her
And getting into detention the, entire, year

But Teens grow
They start to learn
They learn about love
All over the Earth
Then they become kinder
And live with the fact
Nothing to do
But go out and give back

The first 18 years is difficult
But the next 18 years will be much better
Only now we see today, not tomorrow
But soon enough we’ll see a year from now

The first 18 years is difficult
But the next 18 years will be much better
Just keep living, and laughing, and smiling
And helping along the way, it will be fulfilling

The first 18 years is difficult
But the next 18 years will be much better
You have a job from 3 to 6 that pays nothing at all
But soon enough it’ll be 9 to 5 where you can buy what you want

The first 18 years
The first 18 years
The first 18 years
They say it’s difficult
The first 18 years
The first 18 years
The first 18 years…

I guess that's how it is. It's a little sad. And I'm not sure it will get any better.
