lyrics
Like A Child
Like a child, I, look out on the world, I, see chance in every day
It seems so kind, so easy going out there, do I just want to see it that way?
How I was warmed and, kept from finding it all, in a place I can’t go back to
Out on my own now, I’m gonna stand tall, I’ve got to find my way through
And I don’t want to know, how it ends
But I can’t get it out of my mind
I try to escape all the lies and the hate,
I’m floating awake, living in a dream
Ooooo….
Oh no, oh no, I don’t want to waste my time I, spend my life stuck in a daydream
I know, I know, I know, life ain’t a fairytale but I still wish for happy endings
Like Cinderella’s slipper, Prince Charming nearly missed her
Belle is in the forest waiting for the Beast to kiss her
Got my own tale, I’m gonna stand tall, just got to find my way through
And I don’t want to know how it ends
But I can’t get it out of my mind
I try to escape all the lies and the hate
I’m floating awake, living in a dream…
Now I look through my cynical eyes, reality takes faith from me
Wish I had a time machine so I, could go back to the way it used to be
I don’t want to know how it ends
But I can’t get it out of my mind
I try to escape all the lies and the hate
I’m floating awake
No I don’t want to know how it ends
But no matter how hard I try
I just can’t erase all the lies and the hate
My only escape is floating in a dream
Like a child.
Ooooo….
