Description
ο»ΏWhen I lived as a childI longed to save the world
As all wild children will
And as my mind was sharp
Like the wind's chill
My likelihood of aptitude improved
But in time my mind would age
As most children's will
And as they say,
A prodigy's impressiveness declines
If their intelligence resides in place
I won't arrive in the nick of time
Like a hero, here to fight for what's right
How can you be the world's savior
If you can't save yourself?
I used to dream I'd end disease
Now, I dream I won't end up on the street
And after all the pain was laid down
When years of tears stain every gown
Even while pointing forwards
Question the point
As you are forced to face the sky
And ask:
What was it for?
Seriously, what the hell was it for?
But take a breath, because
If you can inspire a single smile
In the end, that's more than enough
So, let's have another cup of tea
